Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (0,4,0,-4).

Formula

a(n) = 2*A093968(n).

From Chai Wah Wu, May 30 2016: (Start)

a(n) = 4*a(n-2) - 4*a(n-4) for n > 3.

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

E.g.f.: x*(2*cosh(sqrt(2)*x) + sqrt(2)*sinh(sqrt(2)*x)). - G. C. Greubel, May 30 2016

Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = log(2)/2 + log(1+sqrt(2))/sqrt(2). - Amiram Eldar, Feb 13 2023

Maple

seq(n*2^(floor((n+1)/2)), n=0..120);
