a(n) is also the number of length n ternary words with at least 4 0-digits between any other digits.
The compositions of n in which each natural number is colored by one of p different colors are called p-colored compositions of n. For n>=9, 3*a(n-9) equals the number of 3-colored compositions of n with all parts >=5, such that no adjacent parts have the same color. - Milan Janjic, Nov 27 2011

FORMULA

G.f.: ( -1-2*x-2*x^2-2*x^3-2*x^4 ) / ( -1+x+2*x^5 ). - R. J. Mathar, Aug 04 2019
G.f.: Q(0)/(2*x^4) -1/x -1/x^2 -1/x^3 -1/x^4, where Q(k) = 1 + 1/(1 - x*(2*k+1 + 2*x^4)/( x*(2*k+2 + 2*x^4) + 1/Q(k+1) )); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Aug 29 2013
a(n) = 2n+1 if n<=5, else a(n) = a(n-1) + 2a(n-5). - Milan Janjic, Mar 09 2015
