Number of 3-dimensional cubes in n-dimensional hypercube. - Henry Bottomley, Apr 14 2000
With three leading zeros, this is the second binomial transform of (0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,...). - Paul Barry, Mar 07 2003
With 3 leading zeros, binomial transform of C(n,3). - Paul Barry, Apr 10 2003
Let M=[1,0,i;0,1,0;i,0,1], i=sqrt(-1). Then 1/det(I-xM)=1/(1-2x)^4. - Paul Barry, Apr 27 2005
If X_1,X_2,...,X_n is a partition of a 2n-set X into 2-blocks then, for n>2, a(n+1) is equal to the number of (n+3)-subsets of X intersecting each X_i (i=1,2,...,n). - Milan Janjic, Jul 21 2007
With offset 0, a(n) is the number of ways to separate [n] into four non-overlapping intervals (allowed to be empty) and then choose a subset from each interval. - Geoffrey Critzer, Feb 07 2009

FORMULA
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + A001788(n-2).
From Paul Barry, Apr 10 2003: (Start)
G.f. (with three leading zeros): x^3/(1-2*x)^4.
With three leading zeros, a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - 24*a(n-2) + 32*a(n-3) - 16*a(n-4), a(0)=a(1)=a(2)=0, a(3)=1.
E.g.f.: (x^3/3!)*exp(2*x) (with 3 leading zeros). (End)
a(n) = Sum_{i=3..n} binomial(i,3)*binomial(n,i). Example: for n=6, a(6) = 1*20 + 4*15 + 10*6 + 20*1 = 160. - Bruno Berselli, Mar 23 2018
From Amiram Eldar, Jan 06 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=3} 1/a(n) = 6*log(2) - 3.
Sum_{n>=3} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 54*log(3/2) - 21. (End)
