%C From _Greg Dresden_, Jun 25 2022: (Start)

%C a(n) is the number of ways to tile, with squares and dominoes, a 2 X n board with one extra space at the end. Here is the board for n=3:

%C _____

%C |_|_|_|_

%C |_|_|_|_|

%C and here is one of the a(3)=32 possible tilings of this board:

%C _____

%C | |_|_|_
