FORMULA

G.f.: -(1+2*x)/(-1+x+9*x^2). a(n)= A015445(n)+2*A015445(n-1). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Aug 12 2009]

a(n) = (1/2+5*sqrt(37)/74) *(1/2+sqrt(37)/2)^(n-1) +(1/2-5*sqrt(37)/74) *(1/2-sqrt(37)/2)^(n-1). [From Antonio Alberto Olivares, Jun 07 2011]

a(n) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A103631(n,k)*3^k. - DELEHAM Philippe, Dec 17 2011
