Table of n, a(n) for n=0..11.

Formula

s[1] = {{1, 0}, {0, 1}}; s[2] = {{1, 0}, {0, -1}}; s[3] = {{0, 1}, {1, 0}}; s[4] = {{0, 1}, {-1, 0}}; a[0] = {0, 1, 1, 2}; a[1] = {1, 1, 2, 3}; a[n_] := a[n] = {a[n - 1][[2]], a[n - 1][[3]], a[n - 1][[4]], Det[Sum[a[n - 1][[i]]*s[i], {i, 1, 4}]]} a(n)=a[n][[1]]

Mathematica

s[1] = {{1, 0}, {0, 1}}; s[2] = {{1, 0}, {0, -1}}; s[3] = {{0, 1}, {1, 0}}; s[4] = {{0, 1}, {-1, 0}}; a[0] = {0, 1, 1, 2}; a[1] = {1, 1, 2, 3}; a[n_] := a[n] = {a[n - 1][[2]], a[n - 1][[3]], a[n - 1][[4]], Det[Sum[a[n - 1][[i]]*s[i], {i, 1, 4}]]} Table[a[n][[1]], {n, 1, 15}]
