FORMULA

a(n) = (1/4)*(7*binomial(3*n-9, n-4)-(8*n^2-43*n+57)*a(n-1))/(8*n^2-51*n+81), n>4. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Aug 19 2004

(1/4 + 7/8*n - 9/8*n^3)*a(n) + (-5/4 + 2/3*n + 59/12*n^2 - 13/3*n^3)*a(n+1) + (-1 - 2/3*n + n^2 + 2/3*n^3)*a(n+2). [Simon Plouffe, Feb 09 2012]

MAPLE

R := RootOf(x-t*(t-1)^2, t); ogf := series( (2*R^3+2*R^2-2*R-1)/((R-1)*(R+1)^2), x=0, 20); - Mark van Hoeij, Nov 08 2011
