Original name was: Generalized Jacobsthal numbers.
This is the sequence A(0,1;1,2;3) of the family of sequences [a,b:c,d:k] considered by G. Detlefs, and treated as A(a,b;c,d;k) in the W. Lang link given below. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 18 2010
Entries correspond to value bound adjustment for an N-bit string having M bits set and a(n+1) bit transitions. Wolfram Alpha can easily generate an entry. a(5)=41 stems from input as 1111110_2 - 1010101_2. The subtraction pattern alternates (begins at 1), and bit count is ptr+2 both terms, with the lead term having only its LSB clear. - Bill McEachen, Jul 15 2011
In the above comment by Bill McEachen the binary pattern (in an obvious notation) is for even n 1^(n+1)0 - (10)^((n+2)/2) and for odd n 1^(n+1)0 - (10)^((n+1)/2)1. That is for even n a(n) = sum(2^k, k=1..(n+1)) - sum(2^(2*k-1), k=1..(n+2)/2) = (2^(n+2) - 4)/3, and for odd n a(n) = sum(2^k , k=1..(n+1)) - sum(2^(2*k), k=0..(n+1)/2) = (2^(n+2) - 5)/3. This checks with the formula a(n) = (2^(n+3) + (-1)^n - 9)/6 given below. After a correspondence with Bill McEachen. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 24 2014
Michel Lagneau's comment above is equal to the fact that a(n) = A000975(n)-1, or in other words, this sequence gives the partial sums of Jacobsthal sequence, starting from its second 1, A001045(2). From this also follows that this sequence gives the positions of repunits in "Jacobsthal greedy base", A265747. - Antti Karttunen, Dec 17 2015
This sequence is the sum of diagonally arranged powers of 2 repeated in an L shape. For example, a(1)=1, a(2) = 4, a(3)=9, a(4)= 20, a(5)=41, a(6)=84 are obtained from the figure below.

From this figure, a(n) = a(n-2) + 2^n is obtained. (End)
For n > 0, also the total distance that the disks travel from the leftmost peg to the middle peg in the Tower of Hanoi puzzle, in the unique solution with 2^n - 1 moves (see links). - Sela Fried, Dec 17 2023

FORMULA

G.f.: x*(1+2*x)/((1+x)*(1-x)*(1-2*x)).
E.g.f.: 4*exp(2*x)/3-3*exp(x)/2+exp(-x)/6.
a(n) = a(n-1)+2*a(n-2)+3, a(0)=0, a(1)=1.
a(n) = 2^(n+2)/3+(-1)^n/6-3/2.
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + a(n-2) -2*a(n-3). - R. J. Mathar, Jun 28 2010
a(n) = 3*a(n-1)-2*a(n-2) +(-1)^n, n>1. - Gary Detlefs, Dec 19 2010
