COMMENTS
Apart from 0, also numerator of Sum_{i=1..n} (1/((i+2)*(i+3))) = n/(3n+9). - Bruno Berselli, Nov 07 2012
In addition to being multiplicative, a(n) is a strong divisibility sequence, that is, gcd(a(n),a(m)) = a(gcd(n,m)) for n >= 1, m >= 1. In particular, a(n) is a divisibility sequence: if n divides m then a(n) divides a(m). - Peter Bala, Feb 21 2019

FORMULA
From R. J. Mathar, Apr 18 2011: (Start)
a(n) = A109050(n)/9.
Dirichlet g.f. zeta(s-1)*(1-2/3^s-2/9^s).
Multiplicative with a(3^e) = 3^max(0,e-2), a(p^e) = p^e if p<>3. (End)
a(n) = 2*a(n-9) - a(n-18). - G. C. Greubel, Feb 19 2019
From Peter Bala, Feb 21 2019: (Start)
a(n) = n/gcd(n,9), where gcd(n,9) = [1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 9, ...] is a periodic sequence of period 9: a(n) is thus quasi_polynomial in n.
O.g.f.: Sum_{n >= 0} a(n)*x^n = F(x) - 2*F(x^3) - 2*F(x^9), where F(x) = x/(1 - x)^2.
More generally, for m >= 1, Sum_{n >= 0} (a(n)^m)*x^n = F(m,x) + (1 - 3^m)*( F(m,x^3) + F(m,x^9) ), where F(m,x) = A(m,x)/(1 - x)^(m+1) with A(m,x) the m_th Eulerian polynomial: A(1,x) = x, A(2,x) = x*(1 + x), A(3,x) = x*(1 + 4*x + x^2) - see A008292.
Repeatedly applying the Euler operator x*d/dx or its inverse to the o.g.f. for the sequence produces generating functions for the sequences n^m*a(n), m in Z. Some examples are given below. (End)
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ (61/162) * n^2. - Amiram Eldar, Nov 25 2022
EXAMPLE
For n = 12, n/(n+9) = 12/21 = 4/7. So, a(12) = 4. - Indranil Ghosh, Jan 31 2017
From Peter Bala, Feb 21 2019: (Start)
Sum_{n >= 1} n*a(n)*x^n = G(x) - (2*3)*G(x^3) - (2*9)*G(x^9) , where G(x) = x*(1 + x)/(1 - x)^3.
Sum_{n >= 1} (1/n)*a(n)*x^n = H(x) - (2/3)*H(x^3) - (2/9)*H(x^9), where H(x) = x/(1 - x).
Sum_{n >= 1} (1/n^2)*a(n)*x^n = L(x) - (2/3^2)*L(x^3) - (2/9^2)*L(x^9), where L(x) = Log(1/(1 - x)).
Sum_{n >= 1} (1/a(n))*x^n = L(x) + (2/3)*L(x^3) + (2/3)*L(x^9). (End)
