FORMULA
a(n) = A059893(A057115(A059893(n))).
a(2*k+2) = 4*k+4, a(4*k+1) = 4*k+2, a(4*k+3) = 2*k+1. - Ralf Stephan, Jun 10 2005
G.f.: x*(x^6+4*x^5+2*x^4+8*x^3+x^2+4*x+2) / ((x-1)^2*(x+1)^2*(x^2+1)^2). - Colin Barker, Feb 18 2013
a(n) = 2*a(n-4) - a(n-8) for n>8. - Colin Barker, Oct 29 2016
a(n) = (11*n+1+(5*n-1)*(-1)^n-(n+3)*(1-(-1)^n)*(-1)^((2*n+3+(-1)^n)/4))/8. - Luce ETIENNE, Oct 20 2016
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 2*x + 4*x^2 + x^3 + 8*x^4 + 6*x^5 + 12*x^6 + 3*x^7 + 16*x^8 + ...
