FORMULA

GF=x*(1-x)/(x^3-4*x^2-4*x+1), a(n)=4*(a(n-1)+a(n-2))-a(n-3), a(1)=1, a(2)=3, a(3)=16

a(n)=(2/7)*(T(n, 5/2)-(-1)^n) with twice Chebyshev's polynomials of the first kind evaluated at x=5/2: 2*T(n, 5/2)=A003501(n)= ((5+sqrt(21))^n + (5-sqrt(21))^n)/2^n. W. Lang (wolfdieter.lang_AT_physik_DOT_uni-karlsruhe_DOT_de), Oct 18 2004
