Formula

G.f.: (1 - 2*x) / (1 - 3*x + 4*x^2).

a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 4*a(n-2) for all n in Z.

a(n) = a(-1-n) * 2^(2*n + 1) for all n in Z.

a(n) = (-1)^n * A087168(n) for all n in Z.

A247565(n) = 2^n + a(n) for all n in Z.

a(n) = A247487(2*n + 1) = A247564(2*n + 1) for all n in Z.

Example

G.f. = 1 + x - x^2 - 7*x^3 - 17*x^4 - 23*x^5 - x^6 + 89*x^7 + 271*x^8 + ...
