This sequence is the case k=3 of a family of sequences with recurrences a(2*n+1) = a(2*n) + a(2*n-1), a(2*n+2) = k*a(2*n-1) + a(2*n), a(1)=0, a(2)=1. Values of k, for k >= 0, are given by A057979 (k=0), A158780 (k=1), A002965 (k=2), this sequence (k=3). See "Family of sequences for k" link for other connected sequences.
It seems that the ratio of two successive numbers with even, or two successive numbers with odd, indices approaches sqrt(k) for these sequences as n-> infinity.
This algorithm can be found in a historical figure named "Villardsche Figur" of the 13th century. There you can see a geometrical interpretation.

a(n)/a(n-1) tends to 2.1486... = 1 + 2^(1/5), the real root of the polynomial x^5 - 5*x^4 + 10*x^3 - 10*x^2 + 5*x - 3.
If x^5 = 2 and n >= 0, then there are unique integers a, b, c, d, g such that (1 + x)^n = a + b*x + c*x^2 + d*x^3 + g*x^4. The coefficient a is a(n) (from A052102). - Alexander Samokrutov, Jul 11 2015

When 2n + 1 = p is prime, a(n) = p.
From Robert Israel, Sep 26 2017: (Start)
a(n) is also the first prime in the sequence defined by the recursion x(k+2)=2*x(k+1)+(2*n-1)*x(k) with x(0)=x(1)=1.
a(307), if it exists, has more than 10000 digits.
It appears that x(n*k) is divisible by x(k) if n is odd. Thus a(n) (if it exists) must be x(k) where k is either a power of 2 or a prime. (End)

Examples

			For k = {1, 2, 3, 4}, (1/2)((1 + sqrt(8))^k + (1 - sqrt(8))^k) = {1, 9, 25, 113}. 113 is prime, so a(4) = 113.
