FORMULA

O.g.f.: (2+x)/(1-4x-2x^2). a(n)=2*A090017(n)+A090017(n-1). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Aug 24 2008]

a(n)=1/12*((Sqrt[6]-3)(-(2-Sqrt[6])^n)+(3+Sqrt[6])(2+Sqrt[6])^n) [From Harvey P. Dale, June 21 2011]

MAPLE

a[0]:=2: a[1]:=9: for n from 2 to 26 do a[n]:=4*a[n-1]+2*a[n-2] od: seq(a[n], n=0..26);
