Comments

Essentially the same as A001045, and perhaps also A152046.

Also the binomial transform of the sequence with terms (-1)^(n+1)*A128209(n).

Formula

a(n) = A001045(n), n>0.

a(n) + a(n+1) = 2*A001782(n) = 2*A131577(n) = A155559(n) = A090129(n+2), n>0.

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

E.g.f.: (exp(2*x) - exp(-x) - 3)/3. - G. C. Greubel, Dec 01 2019
