FORMULA

a(n)=(A001834(n)-1)/2.

a(n)=-(1/2)-(1/4)*sqrt(3)*[2-sqrt(3)]^n+(1/4)*sqrt(3)*[2+sqrt(3)]^n+(1/4)*[2-sqrt(3)]^n+(1/4) *[2+sqrt(3)]^n, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Jul 31 2008]

MAPLE

A001571:=z*(-2+z)/(-1+z)/(z**2-4*z+1); [Conjectured by S. Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation.]
