COMMENT

Interleaving of A000244 and 3*A000244.

Unsigned version of A128019.

Partial sums are in A164123.

Apparently a(n) = A056449(n-1) for n > 1. a(n) = A108411(n) for n >= 1.

Binomial transform is A026150 without initial 1, second binomial transform is A001834, third binomial transform is A030192, fourth binomial transform is A161728, fifth binomial transform is A162272.

FORMULA

a(n) = 3^(1/4*(2*n-1+(-1)^n)).

G.f.: x*(1+3*x)/(1-3*x^2).
