COMMENTS

This is a linear recurrence sequence. If the terms are arranged in nondecreasing order, the result, A363319, is linearly recurrent. If the terms are arranged in increasing order, so that there are no duplicates, the result, A363282, is not linearly recurrent.

FORMULA

a(n) = 3*a(n-2) - 3*a(n-4) + a(n-6).

G.f.: x*(-1 - x - x^2 - 2 x^3 - x^5)/(-1 + x^2)^3.

a(n+1) = n/2+3*n^2/8+3/4+(-1)^n*(1/4+n/2-n^2/8). - R. J. Mathar, Jun 15 2023
