To compute a(n) we first write down 4^n 1's in a row. Each row takes the rightmost 4th part of the previous row and each element in it equals sum of the elements of the previous row starting with the first of the rightmost 4th part. The single element in the last row is a(n).

EXAMPLE
For example, for n=3 the array looks like this:
1..1.....1..1..1..1..1..1..1..1..1..1..1..1..1..1..1..1..1
............1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16
...............................................13.27.42.58
........................................................58
Therefore a(4)=58.
