Geometric connections of a(n) to the area and perimeter of a square.
Area:
. half the area of a square with side 8n (cf. A008590);
. area of a square with diagonal 8n (cf. A008590);
. twice the area of a square with side 4n (cf. A008586);
. four times the area of a square with diagonal 4n (cf. A008586);
. eight times the area of a square with side 2n (cf. A005843);
. sixteen times the area of a square with diagonal 2n (cf. A005843);
. thirty two times the area of a square with side n (cf. A001477);
. sixty four times the area of a square with diagonal n (cf. A001477).
Perimeter:
. perimeter of a square with side 8n^2 (cf. A139098);
. twice the perimeter of a square with side 4n^2 (cf. A016742);
. four times the perimeter of a square with side 2n^2 (cf. A001105);
. eight times the perimeter of a square with side n^2 (cf. A000290).

FORMULA
G.f.: 32*x*(1+x)/(1-x)^3.
a(n) = 2 * A016802(n).
a(n) = 4 * A139098(n).
a(n) = 8 * A016742(n).
a(n) = 16 * A001105(n).
a(n) = 32 * A000290(n).
a(n) = A010021(n) - 2 for n > 0. - Bruno Berselli, Jun 24 2014
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Nov 19 2021
