FORMULA
a(2i) = 2*Sum_{j=0..i-1} 9^j = string "2"^i read in base 9.
a(2i+1) = 9^i + 2*Sum_{j=0..i-1} 9^j = string "1"*"2"^i read in base 9.
From Colin Barker, Feb 01 2013: (Start)
a(n) = (-3-(-3)^n+4*3^n)/12.
a(n) = a(n-1)+9*a(n-2)-9*a(n-3).
G.f.: -x^3*(18*x^2-9*x-11) / ((x-1)*(3*x-1)*(3*x+1)). (End)
E.g.f.: (3*(cosh(3*x) - cosh(x) - sinh(x)) + 5*sinh(3*x))/12 - x - x^2. - Stefano Spezia, Apr 09 2022
