COMMENTS
Sierpinski cuboctahedron constructed by joining eight Sierpinski tetrahedra of sequence 4, 10, 34, 130, 514, 2050, 8194... (4^n*2)+2 (the double of A052539). This sequence is also Sierpinski recursion for the octahemioctahedron A274974.

FORMULA
a(n) = -3*2^(n + 2) + 2^(2n + 4) + 9.
From Colin Barker, Sep 03 2017: (Start)
G.f.: (13 - 42*x + 56*x^2) / ((1 - x)*(1 - 2*x)*(1 - 4*x)).
a(n) = 7*a(n-1) - 14*a(n-2) + 8*a(n-3) for n>2.
(End)
