COMMENT

Growth of happy bug population in GCSE maths course work assignment.

FORMULA

G.f.: 1/(1-3x^2-2x^3).

With offset 1: a(1)=1; a(n)=2*a(n-1)-(-1)^n*n; a(n)=(1/9)*(2^(n+1)-(-1)^n*(3*n+2)) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Nov 02 2002

a(n)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), A078008(n-2k)} - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Nov 24 2003

a(n)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), binomial(k, n-2k)3^k*(2/3)^(n-2k)}. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 16 2004
