%N a(n) is the number of nodes of degree 3 or 4 that are at distance n from the origin in the graph of the Hofstetter-4fold tiling; a(0) = 1.
%C We build the Hofstetter-4fold tiling as follows:
%C - H_0 corresponds to a 2 X 2 square:
%C +---+---+
%C | |
%C + +
%C | |
%C +---+---+
%C O
%C - for any k >= 0, H_{k+1} is obtained by arranging 4 copies of H_k, rotated by 0, 90, 180, 270 degrees clockwise respectively, as follows:
%C +.......+
%C . 90.
%C +.......+ +.......+ ....+
%C . . .0 . . .
%C . . --> . ..... .
%C . . . . 180.
%C +.......+ +.......+.......+
%C O O .270 .
%C +.......+
%C - note that:
%C - the copy rotated by 0 degrees hides some squares on the copies rotated by 90 and 270 degrees,
%C - the copy rotated by 90 degrees hides some squares on the copy rotated by 180 degrees,
%C - the copy rotated by 180 degrees hides some squares on the copy rotated by 270 degrees,
%C - the Hofstetter-4fold tiling corresponds to the limit of H_k as k tends to infinity.
