%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} 2^(n-k)*binomial(1, k/2)*(1+(-1)^k)/2. - _Paul Barry_, Oct 15 2004

%F From _Gary W. Adamson_, Aug 26 2011: (Start)
%F a(n) is the sum of top row terms of M^n, M is an infinite square production matrix as follows:
%F 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...
%F 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...
%F 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...
%F 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...
%F ...
%F E.g.: a(4) = 20 = (8 + 8 + 4) since the top row of M^4 = (8, 8, 4, 0, 0, 0, ...). (End)
