FORMULA

a(n) = 11a(n-1)-36a(n-2)+36a(n-3). - John W. Layman (layman(AT)math.vt.edu).

a(n) = (6^n-2*3^n+2^n)/2. Also -x^2/6*Beta(x, 4) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*(-x/6)^n. Thus x^2*Beta(x, 4) = x-11/6*x^2+85/36*x^3-575/216*x^4+3661/1296*x^5-... . - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Aug 09 2002

a(n)=sum{0<=i,j,k,<=n, i+j+k=n, 2^i*3^j*6^k}. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 25 2007

a(n) = 2^n+3^(n+1)*(2^n-1). - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 25 2007

MAPLE
