FORMULA

a(n)=sum(k=0..n, 2^(n-k)*binomial(1, k/2)*(1+(-1)^k)/2 ) - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 15 2004

a(n)=A020714(n-2), n>1. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Dec 19 2008]

a(n) is the sum of top row terms of M^n, M = an infinite square production matrix as follows:

1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0,...

1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0,...

0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,...

0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,...

... - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 26 2011

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 20 = (8 + 8 + 4) since the top row of M^4 = (8, 8, 4, 0, 0, 0,...)
