FORMULA
G.f.: x*(1+x^4)/((1-x)^2*(1-x^4)).
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) -a(n-2) +a(n-4) -2*a(n-5) +a(n-6). - R. H. Hardin, Nov 15 2011
a(n) = (-2*(1+(-1)^n)*(-1)^floor(n/2) + 2*n^2 + 5 - (-1)^n)/8. - Tani Akinari, Jul 24 2013
E.g.f.: ((2 + x + x^2)*cosh(x) + (3 + x + x^2)*sinh(x) - 2*cos(x))/4. - Stefano Spezia, May 26 2021
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = Pi^2/24 + tanh(Pi/2)*Pi/4 + tanh(sqrt(3)*Pi/2)*Pi/sqrt(3). - Amiram Eldar, Aug 25 2022
a(n) = 2*floor((n^2 + 4)/8) + (n mod 2). - Ridouane Oudra, Sep 08 2023
