COMMENTS
The limit of the local minima, lim_{n->infinity} A081252(n)/n^2 = 1/14. For local maxima cf. A081254.

FORMULA
a(n) = floor(2^(n-1)*7/3).
a(n) = a(n-2) + 7*2^(n-3) for n > 2; a(n+2) - a(n) = A005009(n-1); a(n+1) - a(n) = A062092(n-1).
G.f.: -x*(x^2 - 2)/((x - 1)*(x + 1)*(2*x - 1)).
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) for even n, otherwise a(n) = 2*a(n-1)+1, with a(1)=2. - Bruno Berselli, Jun 19 2014
EXAMPLE
9 is a term since A081252(8)/8^2 = 5/64 = 0.078, A081252(9)/9^2 = 6/81 = 0.074, A081252(10)/10^2 = 8/100 = 0.080.
