Table of n, a(n) for n=1..97.

Formula

a(n) = A230846(n) = A076368(n), n>1. - R. J. Mathar, May 16 2023

Example

On the first quadrant of the square grid consider a diagram in which the n-th horizontal bar contains A000040(n) cells and in which the number of cells in the vertical bars gives 0 together with A000720 as shown below. a(n) is the sum of the length of the n-th horizontal boundary segment and the length of the n-th vertical boundary segment between the structure formed by the horizontal bars and the structure formed by the vertical bars, hence a(n) = A054541(n) + 1. The total length of the boundary segments from [0, 0] after n-th stage is A014688(n).
