w is the average of {x,y,z}, as well as {w,x,y,z}.
For a guide to related sequences, see A211795.
a(n) is also the number of (w,x,y,z) with all terms in {0,1,...,n-1} and 3*w = x+y+z. - Clark Kimberling, May 16 2012

FORMULA
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + 2*a(n-3) - 3*a(n-4) + 3*a(n-5) - a(n-6).
From R. J. Mathar, Jun 25 2012: (Start)
G.f. x*(1 - x + 6*x^2 - x^3 + x^4)/((1 + x + x^2)*(1 - x)^4).
3*a(n) = n^3 + 2*A049347(n-1). (End)
