Equals (1, 2, 3, ...) convolved with (1, 2, 4, 4, 4, ...). a(3) = 22 = (1, 2, 3, 4) dot (4, 4, 2, 1) = (4 + 8 + 6 + 4). - Gary W. Adamson, May 01 2009
a(n) is also the number of ways to place 2 nonattacking bishops on a 2 X (n+1) board. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 29 2010
Also the number of irredundant sets in the n-cocktail party graph. - Eric W. Weisstein, Aug 09 2017

FORMULA

G.f.: (1 + x + 2*x^2)/(1 - x)^3.
(a(n): n >= 0) is the binomial transform of (1, 3, 4, 0, 0, 0, ...). (End)
a(n) - 3*a(n-1) + 3*a(n-2) - a(n-3) = 0, with n > 2. - Bruno Berselli, May 24 2010
With an offset of 1, the polynomial a(t-1) = 2*t^2 - 3*t + 2 is the Alexander polynomial (with negative powers cleared) of the 3-twist knot. The associated Seifert matrix S is [[-1,-1], [0,-2]]. a(n-1) = det(transpose(S) - n*S). Cf. A060884. - Peter Bala, Mar 14 2012
