Let Zb[n](x) = polynomial in x whose coefficients are the corresponding digits of index n in base b. Then Z2[(5*4^k-2)/3](1/tau) = 1. - Marc LeBrun, Mar 01 2001
a(n)=number of derangements of [2n+2] with runs consisting of consecutive integers. E.g., a(1)=6 because the derangements of {1,2,3,4} with runs consisting of consecutive integers are 4|123, 34|12, 4|3|12, 4|3|2|1, 234|1 and 34|2|1 (the bars delimit the runs). - Emeric Deutsch, May 26 2003
Sum of n-th row of triangle of powers of 4: 1; 1 4 1; 1 4 16 4 1; 1 4 16 64 16 4 1; ... - Philippe Deléham, Feb 22 2014

FORMULA
|
a(0) = 1, a(n) = 4*a(n-1) + 2; a(n) = a(n-1)+ 5*{4^(n-1)}; - Amarnath Murthy, May 27 2001
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(0) = 1;
a(1) = 1 + 4 + 1 = 6;
a(2) = 1 + 4 + 16 + 4 + 1 = 26;
