FORMULA
a(n) = 1 - A000079(n+1) + A000244(n+2)
From Alexander R. Povolotsky, Jan 07 2011: (Start)
G.f.: 2*x*(12 - 35*x + 24*x^2) / (1 - 6*x + 11*x^2 - 6*x^3)
a(n+2) = -6*a(n) + 5*a(n+1)+2. (End)
a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - 11*a(n-2) + 6*a(n-3). - G. C. Greubel, Feb 25 2017
E.g.f.: exp(x) - 2*exp(2*x) + 9*exp(3*x) - 8. - G. C. Greubel, Jul 23 2017
