FORMULA

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

a(n) = term (1,1) in the 1x3 matrix [1,1,2].[3,1,0; -2,0,1; 1,0,0]^n. - Alois P. Heinz (heinz(AT)hs-heilbronn.de), Jul 24 2008

MAPLE

a := n -> (Matrix([[1, 1, 2]]).Matrix([[3, 1, 0], [ -2, 0, 1], [1, 0, 0]])^n)[1, 1]; seq (a(n), n=0..50); - Alois P. Heinz (heinz(AT)hs-heilbronn.de), Jul 24 2008
