%N a(n) equals the coefficient of x^n in the n-th iteration of x*(1+x)/(1-x) for n>=1.

%e Given G(x) = x*(1+x)/(1-x):

%e G(x) = x + 2*x^2 + 2*x^3 + 2*x^4 + 2*x^5 + 2*x^6 +...

%e then the initial coefficients of the n-th iterations of G(x) begin:

%e n=1: [(1), 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, ...];

%e n=2: [1,(4), 12, 32, 80, 196, 476, 1152, 2784, ...];

%e n=3: [1, 6,(30), 138, 602, 2542, 10518, 42994, ...];
