COMMENTS
A000032(n), Lucas numbers, and 1/2^n are autosequences of the second kind.
Then a(n)/2^n is also an autosequence of the second kind.
Their corresponding autosequences of the first kind are A000045(n) and n/2^n, the Oresme numbers.
Difference table of A000032(n) - 1/2^n:
1, 1/2, 11/4, 31/8, 111/16, 351/32, 1151/64, ...
9/4, 9/8, 49/16, 129/32, 449/64, 1409/128, ...
31/16, 31/32, 191/64, 511/128, 1791/256, ...
129/64, 129/128, 769/256, ...
511/256, 511/256, ...
2049/1024, ... .
The first upper diagonal is A140323(n)/A004171(n). The main diagonal is the double, i.e. A140323(n)/A000302(n). The inverse binomial transform is the signed sequence.

FORMULA
a(n) = a(n-1) + 10*A085449(n), for n>0, a(0)=1.
a(n) = A087131(n) - 1.
From Colin Barker, Apr 24 2016: (Start)
a(n) = (-1+(1-sqrt(5))^n+(1+sqrt(5))^n).
a(n) = 3*a(n-1)+2*a(n-2)-4*a(n-3) for n>2.
G.f.: (1-2*x+6*x^2) / ((1-x)*(1-2*x-4*x^2)).
(End)
