COMMENTS
|
There are two types of point in this tiling. This is the coordination sequence with respect to a point of degree 3.
The coordination sequence with respect to a point of degree 4 (see second illustration) is simply 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, ..., the same as the coordination sequence for the 4.4.4.4 square grid (A008574). See the CGS-NJAS link for the proof.

FORMULA
|
The simplest formula is: a(0)=1, a(1)=2, a(2)=8, and thereafter a(n) = 4n if n is odd, 4n - 1 if n == 0 (mod 4), and 4n+1 if n == 2 (mod 4). (See the CGS-NJAS link for proof. - N. J. A. Sloane, May 10 2018)
G.f.: -(x^6-x^5-2*x^4-4*x^2-x-1)/((x^2+1)*(x-1)^2).
a(n) = (8*n - (-i)^n - i^n) / 2 for n>2, where i=sqrt(-1).
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) + 2*a(n-3) - a(n-4) for n>6.
