COMMENTS

a(n)/a(n-1) tends to (7+sqrt(13))/2 = 5.30277563...= 2+A098316.

For n>=2, a(n) equals 3^n times the permanent of the (2n-2)X(2n-2) matrix with 1/sqrt(3)'s along the main diagonal, and 1's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal. [From John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011]

FORMULA

G.f.: (1-4x)/(1-7x+9x^2). a(n)=Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}A165253(n,k)*3^(n-k).

a(n) = ((13-sqrt(13))*(7+sqrt(13))^n+(13+sqrt(13))*(7-sqrt(13))^n )/(26*2^n). [From Klaus Brockhaus (klaus-brockhaus(AT)t-online.de), Sep 26 2009]
