FORMULA
G.f.: (2-4*x)/(1-4*x-3*x^2).
a(n) = (2+sqrt(7))^n+(2-sqrt(7))^n.
G.f.: G(0)/x -2/x, where G(k)= 1 + 1/(1 - x*(7*k-4)/(x*(7*k+3) - 2/G(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jun 03 2013
a(n) = [x^n] ( (1 + 4*x + sqrt(1 + 8*x + 28*x^2))/2 )^n for n >= 1. - Peter Bala, Jun 23 2015
