FORMULA

a(n) = a(n-1)+a(floor(n/3)).

Coefficient of x^(3*n) in prod(k>=0, 1/(1-x^(3^k))). Also, coefficient of x^n in prod(k>=0, 1/(1-x^(3^k)))/(1-x). - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Nov 28 2002

a(n) mod 3 = binomial(2n, n) mod 3. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Jan 04 2004

Let T(x) be the g.f., then T(x)=(1-x^3)/(1-x)^2*T(x^3). [Joerg Arndt, May 12 2010]
