FORMULA

Recurrence: a(n) = 2a(n-1) + 4a(n-2), a(0)=2, a(1)=2.

G.f.: 2(1-x) / (1-2x-4x^2).

a(n) = (1+sqrt(5))^n + (1-sqrt(5))^n.

For n>=2, a(n) = Trace of matrix [({2,2},{2,0})^n] - Artur Jasinski (grafix(AT)csl.pl), Jan 09 2007

a(n) = 2*[A063727(n)-A063727(n-1)]. - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Nov 16 2007
