COMMENTS
Number of cells turned ON at n-th stage of the cellular automaton of A256266.
FORMULA
a(n) = 6 * A080079(n), n >= 1.
EXAMPLE
With the terms written as an irregular triangle in which the row lengths are the terms of A011782 the sequence begins:
0;
6;
12, 6;
24, 18, 12, 6;
48, 42, 36, 30, 24, 18, 12, 6;
96, 90, 84, 78, 72, 66, 60, 54, 48, 42, 36, 30, 24, 18, 12, 6;
...
Apart from the initial zero the rows list the initial terms of the positive multiples of 6 in decreasing order.
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = if(n==0, 0, -6*n+12*2^floor(log(n)/log(2)));
