FORMULA

a(n) = 10*n - a(n-1) - 6, with n>1, a(1)=7.

G.f.: x*(7 + 3*x^2)/((1+x)*(x-1)^2). - Vincenzo Librandi, Sep 19 2013

a(n) = a(n-1) +a(n-2) -a(n-3). - Vincenzo Librandi, Sep 19 2013

From G. C. Greubel, Jul 23 2016: (Start)

a(n) = (10*n - 5*(-1)^n - 1)/2.

E.g.f.: (1/2)*(-5 + 6*exp(x) + (10*x - 1)*exp(2*x))*exp(-x). (End)
