COMMENTS
Related to Reverse and Add trajectory of 775 in base 2: a(n) = A077077(4*n+3)/6, i.e. one sixth of fourth quadrisection of A077077.
FORMULA
a(n) = 2*4^(n+5)-37*2^(n+2) for n > 0.
G.f.: (837+2874*x-8504*x^2) / ((1-2*x)*(1-4*x)).
G.f. for the sequence starting at a(1): 8*x*(987-1900*x) / ((1-2*x)*(1-4*x)).
