FORMULA

Empirical: a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - 16*a(n-2) for n>3.

For n > 2: a(n) = 4*a(n-1) + 4^(n-1). - Gerald Hillier, May 01 2018

For n > 1: a(n) = (2n - 1)*2^(2n - 3), [Gerson W. Barbosa]. - Gerald Hillier, May 02 2018

Empirical g.f.: x*(1 - 2*x + 8*x^2) / (1 - 4*x)^2. - Colin Barker, May 02 2018

For n > 1: a(n) = A002064(2n-2) - A002064(2n-3). - Daniel Forgues, Aug 31 2018
