Equivalently, a(n) = r*a(ceiling(n/2)) + s*a(floor(n/2)), a(0)=0, a(1)=1, for (r,s) = (1,4). - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 16 2016
Also, total number of cubic ON cells after n generations in a three-dimensional cellular automaton in which A102376(n-1) gives the number of cubic ON cells in the n-th level of the structure starting from the top. An ON cell remains ON forever. The structure looks like an irregular stepped pyramid, with n >= 1. - Omar E. Pol, Feb 13 2015
The formula of Mar 26 2010 is equivalent to lim_{k->infinity} M^k of the following production matrix M:
1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...
5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...
4, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...
0, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...
0, 4, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...
0, 0, 5, 0, 0, 0, ...
0, 0, 4, 1, 0, 0, ...
0, 0, 0, 5, 0, 0, ...
...
The sequence with offset 1 divided by its aerated variant is (1, 5, 4, 0, 0, 0, ...). (End)

FORMULA

a(0) = 1, a(1) = 1; thereafter a(2n) = 5a(n) and a(2n+1) = 4a(n) + a(n+1).
Let r(x) = (1 + 5x + 4x^2). Then (1 + 5x + 9x^2 + 25x^3 + ...) = r(x) * r(x^2) * r(x^4) * r(x^8) * ... . - Gary W. Adamson, Mar 26 2010
