LINKS

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..26.

FORMULA

a(n) = ceiling[ (5*3^(n-2))/2 + 2^(n-1) - 1/2 ] for n > 1.

EXAMPLE

S -> AD | DA | BE | EB, D -> BC | CB, E -> AC | CA, A -> a, B -> b, C-> c; so a(3)=11.

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := Ceiling[5/2*3^(n - 2) + 2^(n - 1) - 1/2]; Table[ f[n], {n, 2, 27}] (from Robert G. Wilson v Jan 30 2004)
