FORMULA
a(n) = 2^(2*n) - A286182(n) - 1. - Pontus von Brömssen, Aug 30 2022
From Eric W. Weisstein, Aug 31 2022: (Start)
a(n) = 4^n + 3*n - 3*n*Fibonacci(n, 2) - Lucas(n, 2), where Fibonacci(n, 2) = A000129(n) and Lucas(n, 2) = A002203(n).
a(n) = 10*a(n-1) - 35*a(n-2) + 48*a(n-3) - 11*a(n-4) - 22*a(n-5) + 7*a(n-6) + 4*a(n-7).
G.f.: 2*x^2*(-1 + 4*x - 19*x^2 + 18*x^3 + 10*x^4 + 6*x^5)/((-1 + x)^2*(-1 + 4*x)*(-1 + 2*x + x^2)^2). (End)
