FORMULA

a(n) = sum(k=1..n, A084221(k) ).

G.f.: x*(1+3*x)/((1-4*x^2)*(1-x)).

a(n) = (4/3)*(4^(n/2)-1) if n is even, else a(n)=(4/3)*(7*4^((n-3)/2)-1).

a(n) = (4/3)*(4^floor(n/2)+4^floor((n-1)/2)-4^floor((n-2)/2)-1).

a(n) = 4^floor(n/2)+4^floor((n+1)/2)/3-4/3.

a(n) = A132668(a(n+1))-1.

a(n) = A132668(a(n-1)+1) for n>0.

A132668(a(n)) = a(n-1)+1 for n>0.
