%N Partial sums of A162436.

%C Interleaving of A058481 and A100774 without initial term 0.

%C Apparently a(n) = A062318(n+2)-1 and a(n) = A112346(n+1)-1.

%C The terms beginning with a(2) are the row numbers in Pascal’s Triangle where every 3rd element in those rows is divisible by 3 and none of the other elements in those rows are divisible by 3. - _Thomas M. Green_, Apr 03 2013

%H <a href="/index/Rea#recLCC">Index to sequences with linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (1,3,-3).

%F a(n) = A038754(n+1)-2. a(n) = A038754(n+2)-2.

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

%F a(n) = (5-(-1)^n)*3^(1/4*(2*n-1+(-1)^n))/2-2.

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

%e For n = 3, a(3) = 7. The binomial coefficients of the 7th row of Pascal's Triangle are 1 7 21 35 35 21 7 1 and every 3rd element is a multiple of 3. - _Thomas M. Green_, Apr 03 2013
