%F From _Colin Barker_, Dec 27 2015 and Apr 14 2019: (Start)

%F a(n) = 21*a(n-2)-84*a(n-4)+64*a(n-6) for n>5.

%F G.f.: (1+2*x-16*x^2+64*x^3-96*x^5) / ((1-x)*(1+x)*(1-2*x)*(1+2*x)*(1-4*x)*(1+4*x)).

%F (End)

%F a(n) = 2*4^n - (8*2^n-1)/3 - 1 for odd n; a(n) = (4*2^n-1)/3 for even. - _Karl V. Keller, Jr._, Aug 27 2021

%o (Python) print([2*4**n - (8*2**n-1)//3 - 1 if n%2 else (4*2**n-1)//3 for n in range(50)]) # _Karl V. Keller, Jr._, Aug 27 2021
