COMMENTS
See A138276 for the corresponding sequence for a Bethe lattice with coordination number 3.
See A001045 for the corresponding sequence on a 1D lattice (equivalent to a k=2 Bethe lattice); this is based on the Jacobsthal sequence A001045.
See A072272 for the corresponding sequence on a 2D lattice (based on A007483).

FORMULA
The total number of nodes in state 1 after n iterations (starting with a single 1) of the Rule 150 cellular automaton on an infinite Bethe lattice with coordination number 4. Rule 150 sums the values of the focal node and its k neighbors, then applies modulo 2.
EXAMPLE
Let x_0 be the state (0 or 1) of the focal node and x_i the state of every node that is i steps away from the focal node. In time step n=0, all x_i=0 except x_0=1 (start with a single seed). In the next step, x_1=1 as they have 1 neighbor being 1. For n=2, the x_1 nodes have 1 neighbor being 1 (x_0) and themselves being 1; the sum being 2, modulo 2, resulting in x_1=0.
The focal node and outmost nodes x_n are always 1.
Thus one has the patterns
x_0, x_1, x_2, ...
1
1 1
1 0 1
1 0 1 1
1 0 0 0 1
1 1 0 1 1 1
1 0 0 0 1 0 1
1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
(N.B.: This is equivalent to the right half plane of Rule 150 in 1D.)
The nodes have the multiplicities 1,4,12,36,108,324,972,...
The sequence then is obtained by
a(n)= x_0(n) + 4*(x_1(n) + sum_(i=2...n) x_i(n) * 3^(i-1)).
