COMMENTS

For positive n, a(n) equals 4^n times the permanent of the nXn matrix with (5/4)'s along the main diagonal and 1's everywhere else. [From John M. Campbell, Jul 10 2011]

FORMULA

a(n) = floor( e^(1/4)*4^n*n! ).

a(n) = n!*sum(4^(n-k)/k!, k=0..n). E.g.f.: exp(x)/(1-4*x). - DELEHAM Philippe (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Mar 14 2004

a(n) = Sum[P(n, k)*4^k, {k, 0, n}]. - Ross La Haye (rlahaye(AT)new.rr.com), Aug 29 2005

EXAMPLE

a(2)=4*2*a(1)+1=8*5+1=41

CROSSREFS

Cf. A000522, A010844, A010845, A056546, A056547 for analogues. A056545/(A000142*A000302) is an increasingly good approximation to 4th root of e.
