COMMENTS

a(n)/a(n-1) tends to (17+sqrt(33))/2 = 11.3722813...

For n>=2, a(n) equals 8^n times the permanent of the (2n-2)X(2n-2) tridiagonal matrix with 1/sqrt(8)'s along the main diagonal, and 1's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal. [From John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011]

FORMULA

G.f.: (1-9x)/(1-17x+64x^2). a(n)= Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}A165253(n,k)*8^(n-k).

a(n) = ((33-sqrt(33))*(17+sqrt(33))^n+(33+sqrt(33))*(17-sqrt(33))^n)/(66*2^n). [From Klaus Brockhaus (klaus-brockhaus(AT)t-online.de), Sep 28 2009]
