The formula that is off by 1 should be fixed. The simplest fix is to
just change it to "a(n+1) = ...".

Robert, Paolo has stated that his formula is valid for n>= 0. In my
opinion we
can keep both versions (this has happened many times in OEIS).

I see some changes to A115491 have just been published. There are now
two
competing formulas for a(n):
a(n) = -(2/5)*2^n+(32/5)*32^n, with n>=0. - _Paolo P. Lava_, Jun 17
2008
a(n) = (32^(n+1)-16*2^(n+1))/160. - _Vincenzo Librandi_, Jul 25 2014
Vincenzo's agrees with the data (note that a(1) = 6), but
Paolo's is for a(n+1), not a(n): he has a(1) = 204.
So, what to do?
Cheers,
Robert
