FORMULA

Starting at 1, the binomial transform of A000484. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jul 21 2003
It appears that Abs[a(n)]=Floor[Abs[A000748(n)]/3]. - John W. Layman (layman(AT)math.vt.edu), Sep 05 2003
a(n)={(3+i*sqrt(3))/2}^(n-2)+{(3-i*sqrt(3))/2}^(n-2) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Oct 27 2003
G.f.:(x-x^2)/(1-3*x+3*x^2). a(n)=3*a(n-1)-3*a(n-2), if n>1.
