%N Total number of records over all length n ternary words (words on alphabet {0,1,2}).
%C A record in a word a_1,a_2,...,a_n is a letter a_j that is larger than all the preceding letters. That is, a_j>a_i for all i<j.
%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_03">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (6,-11,6).
%F O.g.f.: x*(-3 + 6*x - 2*x^2)/(-1 + 6*x - 11*x^2 + 6*x^3) = d/dy A(x,y)|y=1 where A(x,y) is the o.g.f. for A285852.
%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..3} A285852(n,k)*k.
%F a(n) = 11/2*3^(n-1)-2^n-1/2, n>0. - _R. J. Mathar_, Aug 19 2022
