FORMULA
G.f.: (19 + 14*x + 11*x^2 - 35*x^3 - 25*x^4 - 19*x^5)/((1 - 2*x^3)*(1 - x^3)).
a(3n) = 3*2^n+16, a(3n+1) = 3*2^n+11, a(3n+2) = 3*2^n+8.
MAPLE
f:=proc(n) option remember; if n=0 then RETURN(19); fi; if n mod 3 = 1 then RETURN(f(n-1)-5); elif n mod 3 = 2 then RETURN(f(n-1)-3); else RETURN(2*f(n-1)); fi; end;
