FORMULA

a(n) is the trace of the n-th power of 3*3 matrix: first row (2, 1, 0), second row (1, 1, 1), third row (1, 0, 1). It satisfies recurrence a(n)=4*a(n-1)-4*a(n-2)+ 2*a(n-3), a(0)=3, a(1)=4, a(2)=8. Generating function: (3-8x+4x^2)/(1-4x+4x^2-2x^3).

MATHEMATICA

f[x_] := f[x]=4*f[x-1]-4*f[x-2]+2*f[x-3]; f[0]=3; f[1]=4; f[2]=8
