COMMENTS
Sequence related to the D-toothpick "wide" triangle (See A194440 and A194441). First differences of A194692.
FORMULA
a(n) = A194696(n)/2.
Conjectures for n = 2^k+j, if 0<=j<=3:
a(2^k) = 7*2^(k-2)-1, if k >= 2.
a(2^k+1) = 2^k+4, if k >= 2.
a(2^k+2) = 10, if k >= 3.
a(2^k+3) = 16, if k >= 3.
End conjectures.
