%N Second-order Eulerian numbers: a(n) = 2^n - 2*n.
%C Starting with n=2, a(n) is the second-order Eulerian number <<n-1,1>> (see A008517).
%C Also, number of 3 X n binary matrices avoiding simultaneously the right-angled numbered polyomino patterns (ranpp) (00;1), (01;0) and (01;1). An occurrence of a ranpp (xy;z) in a matrix A=(a(i,j)) is a triple (a(i1,j1), a(i1,j2), a(i2,j1)) where i1<i2, j1<j2 and these elements are in same relative order as those in the triple (x,y,z). - _Sergey Kitaev_, Nov 11 2004
%C This is the number of target DNA sequences of the correct length present after each successive cycle of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The first two cycles produce 0 target sequences, there are 2 target sequences present after the third cycle, then 8 after the fourth cycle, and so forth. - _A. Timothy Royappa_, Jun 16 2012
%C a(n+2) = the row sums of A222403. - _J. M. Bergot_, Apr 04 2018
