%N A304170 a(n) = 32*3^n + 18*2^n - 116 (n>=1).
%C A304170 For n>=2, a(n) is the second Zagreb index of the Sierpinski Gasket Rhombus graph SR[n] (see the Antony Xavier et al. reference).
%C A304170 The second Zagreb index of a simple connected graph is the sum of the degree products d(i)d(j) over all edges ij of the graph.
%C A304170 The M-polynomial of the Sierpinski Gasket Rhombus graph SR[n] is M(SR[n]; x,y) = 4*x^2*y^4 + 4*x^3*y^4 +2*x^3*y^6 + (2*3^n - 3*2^n - 4)*x^4*y^4 + (2^{n+1} - 4)*x^4*y^6 + (2^{n-1} - 2)*x^6*y^6.
