%C A151907 a(n) is the total number of ON cells after n generations in the Holladay-Ulam CA shown in Fig. 2 and Example 2 of the Ulam article.
%C A151907 The definition of this CA given by Ulam on pp. 216, 222 is complicated (and incomplete). However, the same structure can be obtained as follows. Take the CA of A147562 but replace each square by a Maltese cross, a cluster of five adjacent squares:
%C A151907 ..X..
%C A151907 .XXX.
%C A151907 ..X..
%C A151907 We guess that this was how Holladay and Ulam originally constructed the CA.
%C A151907 This construction corresponds to the fact that the three trisections of the difference sequence A151906 are essentially A147582, A147582 and 3*A147582 respectively.
