%F a(2n) = A002203(2n)-2. a(2n+1) = A002203(2n+1). - _R. J. Mathar_, corrected Dec 05 2007.

%F G.f.: 2*x*(1+x^2)/((x^2+2*x-1)*(-1+x)*(1+x)).

%F From _Peter Bala_, Mar 19 2015: (Start)

%F a(n) = -det(I - M^n) where I is the 2X2 identity matrix and M = [2, 1; 1, 0]. Cf. A001350.

%F a(n) = 2*A113224(n-1).

%F This is divisibility sequence, that is, if n | m then a(n) | a(m).

%F exp( Sum_{n >= 1} a(n)*x^n/n ) = 1 + 2*Sum_{n >= 1} Pell(n) *x^n. (End)

%F a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) - 2*a(n-3) - a(n-4) for n > 4. - _Seiichi Manyama_, Jun 07 2018
