FORMULA
G.f.: x^2*(4+x+2*x^2+x^3) / ( (1+x)*(1+x^2)*(x-1)^2 ). - R. J. Mathar, Nov 06 2015
From Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 26 2016: (Start)
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-4) - a(n-5) for n>5.
a(n) = 2*n+(1+i)*(2*i-2+(1-i)*i^(2*n)-i^(-n)+i^(1+n))/4 where i=sqrt(-1).
E.g.f.: (2 - sin(x) - cos(x) + (4*x - 3)*sinh(x) + (4*x - 1)*cosh(x))/2. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, May 27 2016
Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = (2-sqrt(2))*log(2)/8 + sqrt(2)*log(2+sqrt(2))/4 - Pi/8. - Amiram Eldar, Dec 23 2021
