%N a(n) = 680*2^n - 548.

%C a(n) is the first Zagreb index of the polyphenylene dendrimer G[n], defined pictorially in the Arif et al. reference (see Fig. 1, where G[2] is shown).

%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 polyphenylene dendrimer G[n] is M(G[n]; x, y) = (56*2^n - 40)*x^2*y^2 + (48*2^n - 40)*x^2*y^3 +(36* 2^n - 36)*x^3*y^3 + 4*x^3 *y^4.
