FORMULA
O.g.f.: (3 - 10*x) / ((1 - x)*(1 - 4*x)). - Colin Barker, Nov 10 2018
E.g.f.: (1/3)*(7*exp(x) + 2*exp(4*x)). - Stefano Spezia, Nov 10 2018
a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 4*a(n-2), a(0) = 3, a(1) = 5.
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 7, a(0) = 3.
a(n) = (2/3)*(4^n-1)/3 + 3.
a(n) = A171382(2*n) = A155980(2*n+2).
a(n) = A193579(n)/3.
a(n) = A007583(n) + 2 = A001045(2*n+1) + 2.
