Table of n, a(n) for n=0..27.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (0, 9).

Formula

A133080 * A000244, where A000244 = (3^0, 3^1, 3^2, ...). For even n, a(n) = 3^n. For odd n, a(n) = 4 * 3^(n-1).

G.f.: (1+4x)/((1+3x)(1-3x)). a(n) = 9*a(n-2). - R. J. Mathar, Oct 30 2008

a(n) = A038754(n)^2. - T. D. Noe, Jun 10 2011

Example

a(4) = 3^4 = 81.
a(5) = 324 = 4 * 3^4.
