COMMENTS
From a(16) = 96 onwards, the terms of this sequence satisfy the third-order recurrence relation a(n) = 4a(n-3). - Ant King, Aug 15 2010
A002635(a(n)) = 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 13 2014

FORMULA
Consists of the seven odd numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 15, 23, plus 0, and numbers of forms 2*4^k, 6*4^k, 14*4^k, k >= 0.

log(a(n)) = n*log(4)/3 + C(n) + o(1) where C(n) ~ {-2.82922, -3.00364, -2.90612} for n (mod 3) == {2,0,1}. - Bill McEachen, Oct 21 2022
