COMMENTS

Molien series for ternary self-dual codes over GF(3) of length 12n containing 11...1.

(1+x)*(1+x^2) / ((1-x)*(1-x^2)*(1-x^3)) is the Poincare series (or Molien series) for H^*(O_3(q); F_2).

a(n) is the position of the n-th triangular number in the running sum of the (pseudo-Orloj) sequence 1,2,1,2,1,2,1...., cf. A028355. - Wouter Meeussen (wouter.meeussen(AT)pandora.be), Mar 10 2002

a(n) = [a(n-1) + (number of even terms so far in the sequence)]. Example: 14 is [10 + 4 even terms so far in the sequence (they are 0,2,4,10)]. See A096777 for the same construction with odd integers. - Eric Angelini (eric.angelini(AT)kntv.be), Aug 05 2007

a(n)=A002378(n+1)/3 if 3 divides A002378(n+1), a(n)=(A002378(n)+1)/3 otherwise. [From Bruno Berselli (berselli.bruno(AT)yahoo.it), Oct 22 2010]

a(n) = A192736(n+1) / (n+1). [Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 08 2011]

FORMULA

G.f.: (1+x^2)/((1-x)^2*(1-x^3)). a(n)=a(n-1)+a(n-3)-a(n-4)+2=a(-3-n).

a(n)=ceil((n+1)*(n+2)/3). - Paul Boddington (psb(AT)maths.warwick.ac.uk), Jan 26 2004

Contribution from Bruno Berselli (berselli.bruno(AT)yahoo.it), Oct 22 2010: (Start)

a(n) = ((n+1)*(n+2)+(2*cos(2*pi*n/3)+1)/3)/3 = sum[i=1..n+1] A004396(i).

a(n)-2*a(n-1)+a(n-2)-a(n-3)+2*a(n-4)-a(n-5) = 0 for n>4. (End)
