%N a(n)=(5-(-1)^n-6*n)*2^(n-2)

%C This sequence belongs to a family of sequences with GF(x) = (1+(k+2)*x+(2*k-4)*x^2)/(1-2*x-(k+8)*x^2-(2*k)*x^3). Among the members of this family are several red king sequences, see A179597. For the sequence given above, which is not a red king sequence, k = -4.

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_03">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (2, 4, -8).

%F GF(x) = (1-2*x-12*x^2)/(1-2*x-4*x^2+8*x^3)

%F a(n) = 2*a(n-1)+4*a(n-2)-8*a(n-3) with a(1)=1, a(2)=0 and a(3)=-8.
