Formula

a(n) = A130823(n-1) * A131534(n).

a(n) = A226023(n) - A226023(n-1) with A226023(-1)=-1.

a(n) = 3*a(n-3) -3*a(n-6) +a(n-9) = a(n-1) +2*a(n-3) -2*a(n-4) -a(n-6) +a(n-7). [Ralf Stephan]

From Bruno Berselli, May 29 2013: (Start)

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

a(n) = 2*a(n-3)-a(n-6).

a(3n)*a(3n-1)-a(3n-2) = A016754(n-1), n>0. (End)

Example

Given A130823 = 1,1,1,3,3,3,5,5,5,7,7,7,... and A131534 = 1,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,1,..., then a(0)=1*1=1, a(1)=1*2=2, a(2)=1*1=1, a(3)=3*1=3, a(4)=3*2=6, etc.
Given A226023(n) from A226023(-1)=-1, then a(0)=0-(-1)=1, a(1)=2-0=2, a(2)=3-2=1, a(3)=6-3=3, a(4)=12-6=6, etc.
