In the notation of Nemirovsky et al. (1992), a(n), the n-th term of the current sequence is C_{n,m} with m=0 (and d=4). Here, for a d-dimensional hypercubic lattice, C_{n,m} is "the number of configurations of an n-bond self-avoiding chain with m neighbor contacts." (For d=2, we have C(n,0) = A173380(n), while for d=3, we have C(n,0) = A174319(n).) - Petros Hadjicostas, Jan 02 2019

FORMULA
a(n) = 8 + 48*A038746(n) + 192*A038748(n) + 384*A323037(n). (It can be proved using Eq. (5) in Nemirovsky et al. (1992).) - Petros Hadjicostas, Jan 02 2019
