COMMENTS

The sequence 1,1,4,8,24,... is an eigensequence of the sequence triangle of 1,3,1,3,1,3,1,..., which is the Riordan array ((1+3x)/(1-x^2),x). [Paul Barry, Feb 10 2011]

FORMULA

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

a(n) = a(n-1) + 4*a(n-2), a(1)=1, a(2)=4. - Vincenzo Librandi, Mar 11 2011

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 24 = (1, 3, 1, 3) dot (8, 4, 1, 1) = (8 + 12, + 1 + 3).
