Sum of divisors of 4^n. - Paul Barry, Oct 13 2005
Subsequence of A000069; A132680(a(n)) = A005408(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Aug 26 2007
If x = a(n), y = A000079(n+1) and z = A087289(n), then x^2 + 2*y^2 = z^2. - Vincenzo Librandi, Jun 09 2014
Up to at least a(7) for n > 0, a(n) is the odd factor of the salient numbers A001676(3+4n) when factored into the product of an even and odd number. Several other entries apparently have this sequence embedded in them, e,g., A014551, A168604, A213243, A213246-8, and A279872. - Tom Copeland, Dec 27 2016
To elaborate on Librandi's comment from 2014: all these numbers, even if prime in Z, are sure not to be prime in Z[sqrt(2)], since a(n) can at least be factored as ((2^(2n + 1) - 1) - (2^(2n) - 1)sqrt(2))((2^(2n + 1) - 1) + (2^(2n) - 1)sqrt(2)). For example, 7 = (3 - sqrt(2))(3 + sqrt(2)), 31 = (7 - 3sqrt(2))(7 + 3sqrt(2)), 127 = (15 - 7sqrt(2))(15 + 7sqrt(2)). - Alonso del Arte, Oct 17 2017

FORMULA

G.f.: (1+2*x)/((1-x)*(1-4*x)).
E.g.f.: 2*exp(4*x)-exp(x).
With a leading zero, this is a(n) = (4^n - 2 + 0^n)/2, the binomial transform of A080925. - Paul Barry, May 19 2003
a(n) = (-16^n/2)*B(2n, 1/4)/B(2n) where B(n, x) is the n-th Bernoulli polynomial and B(k) = B(k, 0) is the k-th Bernoulli number. a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 4*a(n-2). Also a(n) = (-4^n/2)*B(2*n, 1/2)/B(2*n). - Benoit Cloitre, Jun 18 2004
a(n) = A099393(n) + A020522(n) = A000302(n) + A024036(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 07 2006
a(n) = Stirling2(2*(n+1), 2). - Zerinvary Lajos, Dec 06 2006
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) + 3 with n > 0, a(0) = 1. - Vincenzo Librandi, Dec 30 2010
a(n) = A001576(n+1) - 2*A001576(n). - Brad Clardy, Mar 26 2011
a(n) = 6*A002450(n) + 1. - Roderick MacPhee, Jul 06 2012
a(n) = A000203(A000302(n)). - Michel Marcus, Jan 20 2014
a(n) = Sum_{i = 0..n} C(2n+2, 2i). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Mar 14 2015
