Every 0 is next to 0 0's, every 1 is next to 1 0's, every 2 is next to 2 0's, every 3 is next to 3 0's, every 4 is next to 4 0's.
In other words, the number of maximal independent vertex sets (and minimal vertex covers) in the 3 X n grid graph. - Eric W. Weisstein, Aug 07 2017

FORMULA
|
Empirical: a(n) = a(n-1) +a(n-2) +3*a(n-3) -a(n-4) -a(n-5) for n>6.
Equivalent empirical g.f. 2*x -2*x^2*(1+x)*(2*x^3-x^2-x-2) / ( 1-x-x^2-3*x^3+x^4+x^5 ). - R. J. Mathar, Oct 10 2011
