COMMENTS
a(n) is the second Zagreb index of the triangulane T(n), defined pictorially in the Khalifeh et al. reference.
The second Zagreb index of a simple connected graph is the sum of the degree products d(i)d(j) over all edges ij of the graph.
The M-polynomial of the triangulane T[n] is M(T[n]; x,y) = 3*2^{n-1}*x^2*y^2 + 3*2^n*x^2*y^4 + (9*2^{n-1} - 6)*x^4*y^4.
