FORMULA
a(2*i) = 2*Sum_{j=0..i-1}6^j = string "2"^i read in base 6.
a(2*i+1) = 6^i + 2*Sum_{j=0..i-1}6^j = string "1"*"2"^i read in base 6.
a(n) <= A218555(n).
From Colin Barker, Feb 01 2013: (Start)
a(n) = a(n-1) + 6*a(n-2) - 6*a(n-3) for n>5.
G.f.: 2*x^3*(4 + 3*x - 6*x^2) / ((1 - x)*(1 - 6*x^2)). (End)
From Colin Barker, Mar 17 2017: (Start)
a(n) = 2*(6^(n/2) - 1)/5 for n>2 and even.
a(n) = (7*6^(n/2-1/2) - 2)/5 for n>2 and odd. (End)
E.g.f.: (12*(cosh(sqrt(6)*x) - cosh(x)) + 7*sqrt(6)*sinh(sqrt(6)*x) - 12*sinh(x) - 30*x*(1 + x))/30. - Stefano Spezia, Apr 07 2022
