%N a(1)=2; for n>1, a(n) = (4-9*n+3*n^2)/2.

%C Old Name was: A sequence based on odd numbers of the type 3*n + 2: a(n) = a(n - 1) + n - 1; A000096; f(n) = 3*a(n)+2.

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_03">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (3,-3,1).

%F From _Colin Barker_, Apr 14 2014: (Start)

%F a(n) = (4-9*n+3*n^2)/2 for n>1.

%F a(n) = 3*a(n-1)-3*a(n-2)+a(n-3) for n>4.

%F G.f.: x*(3*x^3-11*x^2+7*x-2) / (x-1)^3. (End).

%F a(n) = (n-2)*A095794(n) - (n-1)*A095794(n-1) for n>1. [_Bruno Berselli_, May 19 2015]

%e G.f. = 2*x - x^2 + 2*x^3 + 8*x^4 + 17*x^5 + 29*x^6 + 44*x^7 + 62*x^8 + ...

%t a[0] = 0; a[1] = -1; a[n_] := a[n] = a[n - 1] + n - 1; a1 = Table[a[n], {n, 0, 30}]; f[n_] := 3*a[n] + 2; Table[f[n], {n, 0, 50}]
