Binomial transform of A058481. Second binomial transform of (A082505 without initial term 0). Third binomial transform of A010686.

Partial sums are in A060867.

a(n) is the sum of the odd numbers taken progressively by moving through them by 2^n-tuples. a(0)=1; a(1) = 3+5=8; a(2) = 7+9+11+13 = 40; a(3) = 15+17+19+21+23+25+27+29 = 176; a(n) = sum_{k=0,1,..,A000225(n)} (A000225(n+1)+2*k). - J. M. Bergot, Dec 06 2014

Formula

a(n) = 6*a(n-1)-8*a(n-2) for n > 1; a(0) = 1, a(1) = 8.

a(n) = 8*A010036(n-1) for n > 0.

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