FORMULA

O.g.f.: 4-12/(-1+x)^2-8/(-1+x)^3 . a(n) = 4*A005563(n-1). - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jan 24 2008

a(n)=a(n-1)+8*n-4 (with a(1)=0) [From Vincenzo Librandi, Nov 23 2010]

EXAMPLE

Geometry: denote castle by x.

From

xx

xx

we get (2*1)^2-4=0

From

******

******

**xx**

**xx**

******

******

we get (2*3)^2-4=32

From (chess)

********

********

we get 8*8-4=60 [(2*4)^2-4=60]

etc...
