%N Start with a single equilateral triangle for n=0; for the odd n-th generation add a triangle at each expandable vertex of the triangles of the (n-1)-th generation (this is the "side to vertex" version); for the even n-th generation use the "side to side" version; a(n) is the number of triangles added in the n-th generation.
%C See a comment on V-V and V-S at A249246.
%C The overlap rules for the expansion are: (i) overlap within generation is allowed. (ii) overlap of different generations is prohibited.
%C There are a total of 16 combinations as shown in the table below:
%C +-------------------------------------------------------+
%C | Even n-th version V-V S-V V-S S-S |
%C +-------------------------------------------------------+
%C | Odd n-th version |
%C | V-V A008486 A248969 A261951 A261952 |

%C | S-S A261953 A261954 A261955 A008486 |
%C +-------------------------------------------------------+
%C Note: V-V = vertex to vertex, S-V = side to vertex,
%C V-S = vertex to side, S-S = side to side.
