Comments

It appears that if n >> 1 the structure looks like an equilateral triangle, which is essentially one of the six wedges of the E-toothpick (or snowflake) structure of A161330. The sequence gives the number of E-toothpicks in the structure after n stages. A220498 (the first differences) gives the number added at the n-th round. For more information and some illustrations see A161330. For the E-toothpick right triangle see A211964.

Formula

a(n) = n + (A161330(n) - 2)/6, n >= 1.

a(n) = n + A161336(n) = 2*A211964(n).
