FORMULA
From Alexander R. Povolotsky, Sep 29 2015: (Start)
G.f.: 9*x^2/(1 - x^3).
a(n) = (9/2)*( (n-1)*n mod 3 ) = 4*(n mod 3) - 2*((n+1) mod 3) + ((n+2) mod 3), formulas suggested by Giovanni Resta.
a(n) = 3*( 1 + cos(2*(n+1)*Pi/3) + cos(4*(n+1)*Pi/3) ).
a(n) = a(n + 3) for n>2.
a(n) = A056992(n+1) - (3*(n+1)^4+3*(n+1)^6+4*(n+1)^8) mod 9. (End)
a(n) = 9*A022003(n). - Robert Israel, Sep 30 2015
