FORMULA

a(n+1)-2a(n)= period 3: repeat -4, 8, -4 .

a(n) = (3/7)*2^n+[(6/7)*I]*sqrt(3)*{-1/2+[(1/2)*I]*sqrt(3)}^n+(2/7)*{-1/2-[(1/2)*I]*sqrt(3)}^n+(2 /7)*{-1/2+[(1/2)*I]*sqrt(3)}^n-[(6/7)*I]*sqrt(3)*{-1/2-[(1/2)*I]*sqrt(3)}^n, with n>=0 and I=sqrt(-1) - Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Jun 06 2008

G.f.: (1-3x+5x^2)/((1-2x)(1+x+x^2)). a(n)=(4*k(n)+3*2^n)/7 where k(n) is the 3-period sequence 1,-5,4,... reminiscent to A130815. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Oct 30 2008]
