FORMULA

a(n) = A168579(n)+3*A168579(n-1).

G.f.: (1+3x)/(1-x-16*x^2). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Mar 26 2009]

a(n)=(1/2)*{[(1/2)-(1/2)*sqrt(65)]^n +[(1/2)+(1/2)*sqrt(65)]^n} +(7/130)*sqrt(65)*{[(1/ 2)+(1/2)*sqrt(65)]^n -[(1/2)-(1/2)*sqrt(65)]^n}, [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Mar 30 2009]

MATHEMATICA

Clear[M, v, t, n];

M = {{0, t}, {t, 1/t}};

v[0] = {1, 1};

v[n_] := v[n] = M.v[n - 1];

t = 2;

a = Table[t^n*v[n][[1]], {n, 0, 30}]
