%N Partial sums of powers of 16.

%C 16 = 2^4 is the growth measure for the Jacobsthal spiral (compare with phi^4 for the Fibonacci spiral). - _Paul Barry_, Mar 07 2008

%C Second quadrisection of A115451. - _Paul Curtz_, May 21 2008

%C Let A be the Hessenberg matrix of order n, defined by: A[1,j]=1, A[i,i]:=16, (i>1), A[i,i-1]=-1, and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n >= 1, a(n-1) = det(A). - _Milan Janjic_, Feb 21 2010

%C Partial sums are in A014899. Also, the sequence is related to A014931 by A014931(n+1) = (n+1)*a(n) - Sum_{i=0..n-1} a(i) for n>0. - _Bruno Berselli_, Nov 07 2012

%C a(n) is the total number of holes in a certain box fractal (start with 16 boxes, 1 hole) after n iterations. See illustration in links. - _Kival Ngaokrajang_, Jan 28 2015

%C Except for 1 and 17, all terms are Brazilian repunits numbers in base 16, and so belong to A125134. All terms >= 273 are composite because a(n) = ((4^(n+1) + 1) * (4^(n+1) - 1))/15. - _Bernard Schott_, Jun 06 2017

%C The sequence in binary is 1, 10001, 100010001, 1000100010001, 10001000100010001, ... cf. Plouffe link, A330135. - _Frank Ellermann_, Mar 05 2020
