For n > 4 it appears that a(n) = 4a(n-1) + 4.

From Robert Israel, Nov 08 2016: (Start)

By induction, we have for k >= 0:

A075825((10*4^k-7)/3) = 2^(k+1)

A075825((10*4^k-4)/3) = 1

A075825((10*4^k-1)/3) = 2^(k+1)+1

A075825((20*4^k-8)/3) = 2^(k+1)-1

A075825((20*4^k-5)/3) = 2^(k+1)+1

A075825((20*4^k-1)/3) = 2^(k+1)

In particular, this sequence contains b(k) = (10*4^k-4)/3 which is the solution of b(k) = 4*b(k-1)+4 with b(0) = 2.

The only terms <= 2*10^7 that are not of that form are 0 and 4. (End)
