COMMENTS
Generally, a(n) is an autosequence if its inverse binomial transform is (-1)^n*a(n). It is of the first kind if the main diagonal is 0's and the first two upper diagonals (just above the main one) are the same. It is of the second kind if the main diagonal is equal to the first upper diagonal multiplied by 2. If the first upper diagonal is an autosequence, the sequence is a super autosequence. Example: A113405. The first upper diagonal is A001045(n). Another super autosequence: 0, 0, 0 followed by A059633(n). The first upper diagonal is A000045(n).

This is an autosequence of the second kind. The main diagonal is 2*A001045(n) = A078008(n). More precisely it is a super autosequence, companion of A113405(n).
a(n+1) mod 10 = period 12: repeat 0, 2, 3, 6, 0, 1, 2, 6, 1, 2, 2, 5.
It is shifted A081374(n+1) mod 10 =

a(n) mod 9 = period 18:
repeat 0, 0, 2, 3, 6, 1, 3, 6, 5, 0, 0, 7, 6, 3, 8, 6, 3, 4 = c(n).

FORMULA
a(n+3) = 3*2^n - a(n), a(0)=a(1)=0, a(2)=2.
a(n) = 2*A113405(n+1) - A113405(n).
a(n+1) = 2*a(n) + period 6: repeat 0, 2, -1, 0, -2, 1. a(0)=0.
a(n) = 2^n - A081374(n+1).
a(n+3) = a(n+1) + A130755(n).
