COMMENTS
A floretion-generated sequence relating sequences A007051 and A047926. (a(n)) results from a force transform of the sequence of powers of 3.
Floretion Algebra Multiplication Program, FAMP Code: 4jesleftforseq[A*B] with A = - .25'i - .25i' - .25'ii' + .25'jj' + .25'kk' + .25'jk' + .25'kj' - .25e and B = + 'i + .5j' + .5k' + .5'ij' + .5'ik', 1vesforseq[A*B](n) = 3^(n+1), ForType: 1A.
FORMULA
a(n) = 2*A007051(n) + A047926(n).
a(n) = 5*a(n-1)-7*a(n-2)+3*a(n-3). G.f.: (3-2*x)*(1-2*x)/((1-x)^2*(1-3*x)). [Colin Barker, Aug 28 2012]
