Comments

First differences of A182632.

a(n) is also the number of components added at n-th stage in the toothpick structure formed by V-toothpicks with an initial Y-toothpick, since a V-toothpick has two components and a Y-toothpick has three components (For more information see A161206, A160120, A161644).

Formula

It appears that a(n) = 2*A161645(n) but with a(1)=3.

a(n) = 3*A182635(n). - Omar E. Pol, Feb 09 2013

Example

From Omar E. Pol, Feb 08 2013 (Start):
When written as a triangle:
0;
3;
6;
12,12;
12,24,36,24;
12,24,48,60,48,60, 84, 48;
12,24,48,60,60,84,132,132,72,60,120,168,144,156,192,96;
12,24,48,60,60,84,132,132,84,84,156,228,228,228,...
...
It appears that positive terms of the right border are A007283.
