FORMULA
From R. J. Mathar, Apr 27 2010: (Start)
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - a(n-2) - 3*a(n-3) + a(n-4) + a(n-5).
G.f.: -x*(1 - x + x^3) / ( (x - 1)*(x^2 + x - 1)^2 ). (End)
a(n) = A140998(n+1, k = 2) = A140993(n+2, n) for n >= 1. - Petros Hadjicostas, Jun 10 2019
EXAMPLE
If n = 4, then a(4) = a(4-2) + a(4-1) + A000071(4+1) = a(2) + a(3) + A000071(5) = 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
