FORMULA
a(n) = A006904(n) - (n-1)^2.
From R. J. Mathar, Mar 27 2009: (Start)
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-3) + 3*a(n-4) + 3*a(n-5) - 2*a(n-6).
G.f.: x*(1-8*x^2+8*x^3+7*x^4)/((-1+2*x)*(1+x)^2*(x-1)^3). (End)
EXAMPLE
a(0) = (1/9)*(7*2^0 + (-1)^0*(3*0+2)) - (0-1)^2 = (1/9)*(7*1 + 1*(0+2)) - (-1)^2 = (1/9)*(7+2) - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0.
