COMMENTS

The recurrence shows that these are actually three interleaved sequences with

the same recurrence (and the same characteristic polynomial).

FORMULA

G.f.: (1+2*x+x^2-x^3+3*x^4-x^5+x^7)/(1-3*x^3-3*x^6-x^9). [Sep 28 2009]

MATHEMATICA

M1 = {{0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1}, {1, 1, 1}}; M2 = {{1, 1, 1}, {1, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0}}; M3 = {{0, 1, 0}, {1, 1, 1}, {1, 0, 0}}; M[n_] = If[Mod[n, 3] == 1, M3, If[Mod[n, 3] == 2, M2, M1]]; v[0] = {0, 1, 1}; v[n_] := v[n] = M[n].v[n - 1] a = Table[v[n][[2]], {n, 0, 100}]
