FORMULA
a(n+1) = 2*a(n) - A104581(n+6).
a(n) + a(n+1) = A113405(n).
a(n) + a(n+3) = A001045(n).
a(n+2) = a(n) + A131666(n).

G.f.: (x^4-x^3+2x-1)/((2*x^3-3*x^2+3*x-1)*(x+1)^2).
A172481(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^(n-k)*binomial(n, k)*a(2*n-k). With negative sign for ...*a(1+2*n-k) and ...*a(3+2*n-k) too.
A175656(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^(n-k)*binomial(n, k)*a(2+2*n-k).
A136298(n+1) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^(n-k)*binomial(n, k)*a(4+2*n-k).
A348407(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^(n-k)*binomial(n, k)*(a(2+2*n-k) - 2*a(1+2*n-k) - a(2*n-k)).
