COMMENT

From Erich Friedman's math magic page 2nd paragraph under "Answers" section.

Except for the first term, a(n)=3*a(n-1)+1 (with a(1)=2) [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Oct 29 2009]

FORMULA

For n>0: a(n) = (5*3^(n-1)-1)/2 = a(n-1)+5*3^(n-2) = (5*A003462(n)+1)/3 = a(n-1)+A005030(n-2) - Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), May 01 2001

PROGRAM

(PARI) { for (n=0, 200, if (n>1, a1=a=3*a1 + 1, if (n==0, a=1, a1=a=2)); write("b060816.txt", n, " ", a); ) } [From Harry J. Smith (hjsmithh(AT)sbcglobal.net), Jul 13 2009]
