COMMENTS
Conjecture: a(n)/a(n-1) tends to sqrt(5). (E.g., a(10)/a(9) = 2.235294....)
The conjecture is false. The fraction a(n)/a(n-1) tends to 2 as n grows. - Philipp Zumstein (zuphilip(AT)inf.ethz.ch), Oct 05 2009

FORMULA
Row sums of A128134.
Equals A134315 * [1, 2, 3, ...]. - Gary W. Adamson, Oct 19 2007
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 2^(n-1) for n >= 2. - Philipp Zumstein (zuphilip(AT)inf.ethz.ch), Oct 05 2009
From Colin Barker, May 29 2012: (Start)
a(n) = 2^(n - 2)*(2*n - 1) for n > 1.
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 4*a(n-2) for n > 3.
G.f.: x*(1 - x + 2*x^2)/(1 - 2*x)^2. (End)
G.f.: (1 - G(0))/2 where G(k) = 1 - (2*k + 2)/(1 - x/(x - (k + 1)/G(k+1))) (recursively defined continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Dec 06 2012
From Amiram Eldar, Aug 05 2020: (Start)
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 2*sqrt(2)*arcsinh(1) - 1.
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 2*sqrt(2)*arccot(sqrt(2)) - 1. (End)
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 28 = sum of row 4 of A128134 = 3 + 10 + 11 + 4.
