FORMULA
a(n) = 39203*a(n-1) - 39203*a(n-2) + a(n-3).
G.f.: -x*(x^2-32537*x+24486) / ((x-1)*(x^2-39202*x+1)).
a(n) = (46+(89-36*sqrt(2))*(19601+13860*sqrt(2))^(-n)+(89+36*sqrt(2))*(19601+13860*sqrt(2))^n)/224. - Colin Barker, Mar 07 2016
EXAMPLE
24486 is in the sequence because A001106(84) = 24486 = 12036 + 12450 = A001106(59) + A001106(60), where A001106(k) is the k-th 9-gonal number.
