COMMENTS

Number of words of length n+1 where first element is from {0,1,2}, other elements are from {0,1} and sequence does not decrease (for n=2 there are 3*2^2 sequences, but 000,100,110,111,200,210,211 decrease, so a(2) = 12-7 = 5).

Number of subgroups of C_(2^n) X C_(2^n) (see A060724).

Starting with 1 = row sums of triangle A054582. - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Jun 23 2008

Contribution from Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 24 2010: (Start)

Starting with "1" equals the eigensequence of a triangle with integer squares

(1, 4, 9, 16,...) as the left border and the rest 1's. (End)

FORMULA

Row sums of A125165: (1, 5, 15, 37...). Binomial transform of [1, 4, 6, 6, 6...] = [1, 5, 15, 37,...]. 4-th diagonal from the right of A126777 = (1, 5, 15,...). - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Dec 23 2006

a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + (2n-1); e.g. a(4) = 37 = 2*15 + 7. - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Sep 30 2007

Contribution from Johannes W. Meijer (meijgia(AT)hotmail.com), Feb 20 2009: (Start)

a(n) = 4a(n-1)-5a(n-2)+2a(n-3) for n>2 with a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1, a(2) = 5.

G.f.: z*(1+z)/((1-z)^2*(1-2*z))

(End)

a(n)=2*n+2*a(n-1)-1 (with a(0)=0) [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Aug 06 2010]

EXAMPLE
