Staggered diagonal of triangular spiral in A051682, between (0,4,17) spoke and (0,7,23) spoke

If Y is a fixed 3-subset of a (3n+1)-set X then a(n) is the number of (3n-1)-subsets of X intersecting Y. - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Oct 28 2007

a(n) = A000217(3*n); a(2*n) = A144314(n). [From Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Sep 17 2008]

FORMULA

a(n) = 6C(n, 1)+9C(n, 2). Binomial transform of (0, 6, 9, 0, 0, 0, ...). a(n)=3n(3n+1)/2. G.f.: (6x+3x^2)/(1-x)^3.

a(n)=3*A005449(n). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Mar 27 2009]

a(n)=9*n+a(n-1)-3 (with a(0)=0) [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Aug 08 2010]

EXAMPLE

a(1)=9*1+0-3=6; a(2)=9*2+6-3=21; a(3)=9*3+21-3=45 [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Aug 08 2010]
