FORMULA
a(n) = A141325(3*n) = (-1)^n + A014445(n).
a(n) = +3*a(n-1) +5*a(n-2) +a(n-3). - R. J. Mathar, Dec 17 2010
G.f.: (1-x)^2 / ( (1+x)*(1-4*x-x^2) ). - R. J. Mathar, Dec 17 2010
a(n) = ((-1)^n + (-(2-sqrt(5))^n + (2+sqrt(5))^n) / sqrt(5)). - Colin Barker, Jun 06 2017
a(n) = -A033887(n) + 2*Sum_{k=0..n} A033887(k)*(-1)^(n-k). - Yomna Bakr and Greg Dresden, Jun 03 2024
