FORMULA
a(n) = ((3-sqrt(3))^n + (3+sqrt(3))^n)/2.
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n, 2*k)*3^(n-k).
G.f.: (1-3*x)/(1-6*x+6*x^2).
E.g.f.: exp(3*x) * cosh(x*sqrt(3)).
a(n) = right and left terms in M^n * [1 1 1] where M = the 3X3 matrix [1 1 1 / 1 4 1 / 1 1 1]. M^n * [1 1 1] = [a(n) A030192(n) a(n)]. E.g. a(3) = 54 since M^3 * [1 1 1] = [54 144 54] = [a(3) A030192(3) a(3)]. - Gary W. Adamson, Dec 18 2004
a(n) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}3^k*A098158(n,k). - Philippe Deléham, Dec 04 2006
G.f.: A(x) = G(0) where G(k) = 1 + 3*x/((1-3*x) - x*(1-3*x)/(x + (1-3*x)/G(k+1) )); (recursively defined continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Dec 29 2012.
