FORMULA

For the unsigned version: a(1)=1; a(2)=2; a(n) = sum(k=2, n-1, a(k) + a(k-1) ).

a(n) is asymptotic to (1/4)*(8-5*sqrt(2))*(1+sqrt(2))^n.

a(n) = A048746(n-3) + 2, for n>2. - Ralf Stephan (ralf(AT)ark.in-berlin.de), Oct 17 2003

a(n)=2Pell(n)-Pell(n-1); abs(A078343(n))=2*0^n+2Pell(n)-Pell(n-1); abs(A078343(n))=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), (C(n-k-1, k)-C(n-k-1, k-1))2^(n-2k)} - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Dec 23 2004

O.g.f.: (1-4*x)/(-1+2*x+x^2). - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Feb 15 2008
