a(n)=2a(n-1)+a(n-2)+4n-1
a(n)=-7/2+(7/4)*[1+sqrt(2)]^n-2*n-(5/4)*sqrt(2)*[1-sqrt(2)]^n+(7/4)*[1-sqrt(2)]^n+(5/4)*[1 +sqrt(2)]^n*sqrt(2), with n>=0 - Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Jun 10 2008

Empirical observations (from Superseeker): (1) if b(n)=a(n)+n then {b(n)} is A048777, (2) if b(n)=a(n+3)-3a(n+2)-3a(n+1)+a(n) then {b(n)} is A052542, and (3) if b(n)=a(n+2)-2(a(n+1)+a(n) then {b(n)} is A001333.
