FORMULA

a(n)=(2^(n+1)-(1+(-1)^(n+1)))/2. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 24 2003

a(n+2)=a(n+1)+2a(n)+1, a(0)=a(1)=1 - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), May 01 2003

a(n)= (sum{k=0..n, 2^k}+(-1)^n)/2=(A000225(n+1)+(-1)^n)/2. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), May 27 2003

(a(n+1)-a(n))/3=A001045(n) - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), May 27 2003

a(n)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), C(n+1, 2k) } - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), May 27 2003

a(n)=sum{k=0..n, C(n, k)+(-1)^(n-k)}-1 - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jul 21 2003

G.f.:(1-x+x^2)/((1-x^2)(1-2x)); E.g.f.: exp(2x)-sinh(x). - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 19 2003

a(n)=sum{k=0..n, sum{j=0..n-k, if(mod(j-k, 2)=0, binomial(n-k, j), 0}}; - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jan 25 2005
