Binomial transform of [1,2,13,44,205,...] = A002534(n+1).
a(n) is the number of compositions of n when there are 3 types of 1 and 9 types of other natural numbers. - Milan Janjic, Aug 13 2010
FORMULA
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) + 6*a(n-2) with a(0)=1, a(1)=3.
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A122016(n,k)*3^k.
a(n) = ((10+sqrt(10))/20)*(2+sqrt(10))^n + ((10-sqrt(10))/20)*(2-sqrt(10))^n. - Richard Choulet, Nov 20 2008
