Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 60, we have over 367,000 sequences, and we’ve crossed 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Number of 2 X 2 tiles in all tilings of a 3 X (n+1) rectangle with 1 X 1 and 2 X 2 square tiles. - Emeric Deutsch, Feb 18 2007
The terms of this sequence have a primitive divisor for all terms beyond the 4th if and only if n is not of the form 4k+2, for some nonnegative integer k. - Anthony Flatters (Anthony.Flatters(AT)uea.ac.uk), Aug 17 2007

FORMULA
a(n) = (1/27)*((3*n + 2)*2^(n + 2) - (6*n + 8)*(-1)^n).
a(n) = 2 * A073371(n-1).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor((n+1)/2)} k*2^k*binomial(n+1-k,k). - Emeric Deutsch, Feb 18 2007
