FORMULA

a(n) = a(n-1)+a(n-4)-a(n-5)+1. a(n)=floor((n+3)^2/8) - Michael Somos, Apr 21 2000.
a(n)=sum{k=0..n, floor((k+4)/4)}=n+1+sum{k=0..n, floor(k/4)}. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Aug 19 2003
a(n)=a(n-4)+n+1. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jul 14 2004
a(n) = sum(floor(j/4), {j,0,n+4}), a(n-4) = (1/2)floor(n/4)*(2n-2-4*floor(n/4)) [From Mitch Harris (maharri(AT)gmail.com), Sep 08 2008]
A002620(n+1)=a(2*n-1)/2. A000217(n+1)=a(2*n).
a(n)+a(n+1)+a(n+2)+a(n+3) = (n+4)*(n+5)/2. - Amarnath Murthy (amarnath_murthy(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 26 2004
a(n) = n^2/8+3*n/4+15/16+(-1)^n/16+A056594(n+3)/4. - Amarnath Murthy (amarnath_murthy(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 26 2004
a(n)=A130519(n+4). - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Jul 10 2009
