FORMULA

a(n) = 2*Fib(n)+1 = A000045(n)+A001611(n). G.f.: (1+x-3x^2)/(1-2*x+x^3) - Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), Feb 20 2001

If n>=4, a(n) = floor(Phi*a(n-1)); Phi = (1 + sqrt(5))/2. - DELEHAM Philippe (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Aug 08 2003

a(n)=F(n)+F(n+3)+1, n>=-2 {where F(n) is the n-th Fibonacci number} - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Feb 01 2008

a(n)=1+(2/5)*[(1/2)+(1/2)*sqrt(5)]^n*sqrt(5)-(2/5)*sqrt(5)*[(1/2)-(1/2)*sqrt(5)]^n, with n>0=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Nov 21 2008]

MAPLE

A001588:=-(-1-z+3*z**2)/(z-1)/(z**2+z-1); [Conjectured by S. Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation.]

with(combinat): seq(fibonacci(n)+fibonacci(n+3)+1, n=-2..35); - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Feb 01 2008
