A227621 The nearest integer of perimeter of T-square (fractal) after n-iterations, starting with a unit square. 1

%U 681778,1022668,1534004,2301009,3451515,5177275,7765914

%N The nearest integer of perimeter of T-square (fractal) after n-iterations, starting with a unit square.

%C The round (nearest) function uses the convention that values halfway between two integers are rounded up, so a(4) = 37 = round(36 + 1/2).

%F a(0) = 4; for n >= 1, a(n) = round(A083313(n)/2^(n-3)).

%e The central unit square has perimeter 4. At n=1, the additional 4 squares hide 4*1/2 = 2 units of length and add 4*3*1/2 = 6 units, to give a(1) = 4 - 2 + 6 = 8.

%e At n=2, the additional 12 squares hide 12*1/(2*2) units of length and add 12*3*1/(2*2) to give a(2) = 8 - 12/4 + 36/4 = 14.

%p A227621 := proc(n)
