FORMULA
a(n) is asymptotic to c*2^(n(n+1)/2) where c = 2.1726687508496636560169136... - Benoit Cloitre, Jul 02 2004
c = 1 + Sum_{k>=1} (Product_{j=1..k} 1/(2^(j-1)*(2^j-1))) = 2.172668750849663656016913609859312820656436935109608860295... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 27 2015
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n+1} q-binomial(n-k+1,k)*2^(binomial(n-k+1,2)+binomial(k,2)), where q-binomial is triangle A022166, that is, with q=2. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Jan 19 2020
EXAMPLE
a(2)=4*3+2*1=14, a(3)=8*14+4*3=124.
MATHEMATICA
a[0] = 1; a[1] = 3; a[n_] := (2^n)*a[n-1] + (2^(n-1))*a[n-2]; Table[ a[n], {n, 0, 14}] (* Robert G. Wilson v, Jul 03 2004 *)
b[n_, k_] := k^2 - k (1 + n) + n (1 + n)/2;
