For an introduction to reductions of polynomials by substitutions such as x^2->x+2, see A192232.
Direct sums can be obtained for A192355 and A192356 in the following way. The polynomials p_{n}(x) can be given in series form by p_{n}(x) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n, 2*k)*4*k*x^(n-2*k). For the reduction x^2 -> x+2 then the general form can be seen as x^n -> J_{n}*x + phi_{n}, where J_{n} = A001045(n) are the Jacobsthal numbers and phi_{n} = A078008. The reduction of p_{n}(x) now takes the form p_{n}(x) = x * Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n,2*k)*4^k*J_{n-2*k} + Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n,2*k)*4^k*phi_{n-2*k}. Evaluating the series leads to p_{n}(x) = x * (4^n - (-3)^n - 1 + 2^n*delta(n,0))/6 + (4^n + 2*(-3)^n + 2 + 2^n*delta(n,0))/6, where delta(n,k) is the Kronecker delta. - G. C. Greubel, Oct 29 2018

Empirical G.f.: x*(2*x^3-5*x^2-2*x+1)/((x-1)*(3*x+1)*(4*x-1)). - Colin Barker, Sep 12 2012
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n, 2*k) * 4^k * phi_{n-2*k}, where phi_{n} = A078008(n).a(n) = (4^n + 2*(-3)^n + 2 + 2^n*delta(n,0))/6, with delta(n,0) = 1 if n=0, 0 else. (End)
