3*2^n + 1. Alternatively, define the sequence S(a_0,a_1) by a_{n+2} is the least integer such that a_{n+2}/a_{n+1}>a_{n+1}/a_n for n >= 0. This is S(4,7).

Also Pisot sequence L(4,7) (cf. A008776).
a(n) = number of terms of the arithmetic progression with first term 2^(2n-1) and last term 2^(2n+1). So common difference is 2^n. e.g. a(2)=7 corresponds to (8,12,16,20,24,28,32). - Augustine O. Munagi (amunagi(AT)yahoo.com), Feb 21 2007

FORMULA

a(n) = 3a(n-1) - 2a(n-2).
For n>3, a(3)=13, a(n)= a(n-1)+2*floor(a(n-1)/2). - Benoit Cloitre, Aug 14, 2002.
For n>=1, a(n) = A049775(n+1)/2^(n-2). For n>=2, a(n) = 2a(n-1)-1; see also A000051. - DELEHAM Philippe (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Feb 20 2004
O.g.f.: -(-1-x+3*x^2)/((2*x-1)*(x-1)) . - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Nov 23 2007
