COMMENTS
a(n-3) is the number of ordered triples of positive integers which are the side lengths of a nondegenerate triangle of perimeter n. - Rob Pratt, Jul 12 2004
a(n) is the number of ways to distribute n identical objects into 3 distinguishable bins so that no bin contains an absolute majority of objects. - Geoffrey Critzer, Mar 17 2010
From Omar E. Pol, Feb 05 2012 (Start:)
Also terms of A000217 and A000217-shifted interleaved.
Also 0 together with this sequence give the first row of the square array A194801. (End)
a(n) is the number of coins left after packing 3-curves coins patterns into fountain of coins base n. Refer to A005169: "A fountain is formed by starting with a row of coins, then stacking additional coins on top so that each new coin touches two in the previous row". See illustration in links. - Kival Ngaokrajang, Oct 12 2013

FORMULA
The signed version with g.f. (1-x^3)/(1-x^2)^3 is the inverse binomial transform of A084861. - Paul Barry, Jun 12 2003
a(n) = binomial(n/2+2, 2) for n even, binomial((n+1)/2, 2) for n odd. - Rob Pratt, Jul 12 2004
From Paul Barry, Jul 29 2004: (Start)
a(n-2) interleaves n(n+1)/2 and n(n-1)/2.
G.f.: (1-x+x^2)/((1+x)^2*(1-x)^3)).
a(n) = (2*n^2 + 6*n + 7 + 3*(2*n+3)*(-1)^n)/16. (End)
a(n) = n*(n+1)/2, n = +- 1, +- 2... - Omar E. Pol, Feb 05 2012
From Michael Somos, Feb 01 2018: (Start)
Euler transform of length 6 sequence [0, 3, 1, 0, 0, -1].
G.f.: (1 + x^3) / (1 - x^2)^3.
a(n) = a(-3-n) for all in Z. (End)
