FORMULA

G.f.: (1+x)^2/(3*x^3)*Q(0) + (x^3 - 5*x^2 - 5*x - 2)/(6*x^3), where Q(k) = 1 - x*(k+1)^2/( x*(k+1)^2 - 2/(1 - x*(k+1)^2/( x*(k+1)^2 - 2/Q(k+1) ))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 22 2013

MATHEMATICA

b[n_] := (-2^(-1))^(n-2)*Sum[Binomial[n, k]*(1-2^(n+k+1))* BernoulliB[n+k+1], {k, 0, n}];

c[n_] := (b[n] + b[n+1])/3;

a[n_] := If[n == 1, 1, (c[n] + c[n+1])/2];
