Convolved with the Jacobsthal sequence A001045 = A001786: (1, 4, 12, 32, 80, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, May 23 2009
Equals (n+1)-th row sums of triangle A161175. - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 05 2009
a(n) written in base 2: a(0) = 1, a(n) for n >= 1: 11, 110, 11000, 110000, ..., i.e.: 2 times 1, (n-1) times 0 (see A003953(n)). - Jaroslav Krizek, Aug 17 2009

An elephant sequence, see A175655. For the central square four A[5] vectors, with decimal values 42, 138, 162 and 168, lead to this sequence. For the corner squares these vectors lead to the companion sequence A083329. - Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 15 2010

FORMULA
a(0) = 1; for n > 0, a(n) = 3*2^(n-1).
a(n) = 2*a(n-1), n > 1; a(0)=1, a(1)=3.
More generally, the g.f. (1+x)/(1-k*x) produces the sequence [1, 1 + k, (1 + k)*k, (1 + k)*k^2, ..., (1+k)*k^(n-1), ...], with a(0) = 1, a(n) = (1+k)*k^(n-1) for n >= 1. Also a(n+1) = k*a(n) for n >= 1. - Zak Seidov and N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 05 2009
The g.f. (1+x)/(1-k*x) produces the sequence with closed form (in PARI notation) a(n)=(n>=0)*k^n+(n>=1)*k^(n-1). - Jaume Oliver Lafont, Dec 05 2009
Binomial transform of A000034. a(n) = (3*2^n - 0^n)/2. - Paul Barry, Apr 29 2003
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (n+k)*binomial(n, k)/n. - Paul Barry, Jan 30 2005
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A029653(n, k)*x^k for x = 1. - Philippe Deléham, Jul 10 2005

a(0) = 1, a(n) = 2 + Sum_{k=0..n-1} a(k) for n >= 1. - Joerg Arndt, Aug 15 2012
a(n) = 2^n + floor(2^(n-1)). - Martin Grymel, Oct 17 2012
E.g.f.: (3*exp(2*x) - 1)/2. - Stefano Spezia, Jan 31 2023
