FORMULA

G.f.: 2*x/(1-x)+x*(1+2*x)/(1-x-x^2). a(n) = Lucas number A000032(n) + 2.

Binomial transform of [4, -1, 3, -4, 7, -11, 18,...], i.e. the series continues as a signed version of the Lucas series, A000204. - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Nov 08 2007

a(n)=F(n)+F(n+2)+2, n>=-1 {where F(n) is the n-th Fibonacci number} - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Feb 01 2008

MAPLE

A000211:=-(1+z)*(4*z-3)/(z-1)/(z**2+z-1); [Conjectured by S. Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation. Gives sequence except for the leading 4.]

with(combinat): seq(fibonacci(n)+fibonacci(n+2)+2, n=-1..32); - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Feb 01 2008

(Maple) a := n -> (Matrix([[4, 1, 5]]). Matrix(3, (i, j)-> if (i=j-1) then 1 elif j=1 then [2, 0, -1][i] else 0 fi)^n)[1, 1] ; seq (a(n), n=0..33); [From Alois P. Heinz (heinz(AT)hs-heilbronn.de), Aug 01 2008]
