Formula

a(n) = 2*A117951(n).

From Vincenzo Librandi, Mar 08 2015: (Start)

G.f.: 2*(5 - 9*x + 6*x^2)/(1 - x)^3.

a(n) = a(-n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3). (End)

From Amiram Eldar, Mar 28 2023: (Start)

Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = (1 + sqrt(5)*Pi*coth(sqrt(5)*Pi))/20.

Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = (1 + sqrt(5)*Pi*cosech(sqrt(5)*Pi))/20. (End)

E.g.f.: 2*exp(x)*(5 + x + x^2). - Elmo R. Oliveira, Jan 25 2025
