%C Let A be the unit-primitive matrix (see [Jeffery]) A = A_(8,3) = [0,0,0,1; 0,0,2,0; 0,2,0,1; 2,0,2,0]. Then A084130(n) = (1/4)*Trace(A^(2*n)). (Cf. A006012, A001333.) - _L. Edson Jeffery_, Apr 04 2011

%C a(n) is also the rational part of the Q(sqrt*(2)) integer giving the length L(n) of a variant of the Lévy C-curve, given by _Kival Ngaokrajan_, at iteration step n. See A057084. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Dec 18 2014
