%N a(n) = 102*2^n - 78.
%C a(n) is the first Zagreb index of the all-aromatic dendrimer G[n], shown pictorially as DNS1[n] in the Shabani et al. reference (Fig. 1).
%C The first Zagreb index of a simple connected graph is the sum of the squared degrees of its vertices. Alternatively, it is the sum of the degree sums d(i) + d(j) over all edges ij of the graph.
%C The M-polynomial of the dendrimer G[n] is M(G[n]; x, y) = 6*2^n*x^2*y^2 + 12*(2^n - 1)*x^2*y^3 +3* (2^n - 1)*x^3*y^3.
