Formula

a(n) = 8*A000290(n) = 4*A001105(n) = 2*A016742(n). - Omar E. Pol, Dec 13 2008

G.f.: -8*x*(1+x) / (x-1)^3. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 27 2015

From Amiram Eldar, Feb 03 2021: (Start)

Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = Pi^2/48 (A245058).

Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = Pi^2/96.

Product_{n>=1} (1 + 1/a(n)) = sqrt(8)*sinh(Pi/sqrt(8))/Pi.

Product_{n>=1} (1 - 1/a(n)) = sqrt(8)*sin(Pi/sqrt(8))/Pi. (End)

a(n) = 3*a(n-1)-3*a(n-2)+a(n-3). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Dec 03 2021
