From L. Edson Jeffery, Mar 22 2011: (Start)
Let A be the unit-primitive matrix (see [Jeffery])
A=A_(7,2)=
(0 0 1)
(0 1 1)
(1 1 1).
Let B={b(n)} be this sequence shifted to the right one place and setting b(0)=3. Then B=(3,2,6,11,26,...) with generating function (3-4*x-x^2)/(1-2*x-x^2+x^3) and b(n)=Trace(A^n). (End)
The following identity hold true (a(n)^2 - a(2n+2))/2 = A094648(n+1) = (-1)^(n+1)*A096975(n+1) - for the proof see Witula et al.'s papers - Roman Witula, Jul 25 2012
We note that the joined sequences (-1)^(n+1)*a(n) and A094648(n) form a two-sided sequence defined either by the recurrence formula x(n+3) + x(n+2) - 2x(n+1) - x(n) = 0, n in Z, x(0)=3, x(-1)=-2, x(1)=-1, or by the following trigonometric identities: x(n) = (c(1))^n + (c(2))^n + (c(4))^n = (c(1)c(2))^(-n) + (c(1)c(4))^(-n) + (c(2)c(4))^(-n) = (s(2)/s(1))^n + (s(4)/s(2))^n + (s(1)/s(4))^n, for n in Z, where c(j) := 2*cos(2Pi*j/7) and s(j) := sin(2*Pi*j/7) - for the proof see Witula's and Witula et al.'s papers. - Roman Witula, Jul 25 2012
We have 4*a(n+2) - a(n) = 7*A077998(n+2). - Roman Witula, Aug 13 2012
Two very intriguing identities of trigonometric nature hold: (-1)^n*(a(n)-a(n-1)) = c(1)*c(2)^(-n) + c(2)*c(4)^(-n) + c(4)*c(1)^(-n), and (-1)^(n+1)*(a(n-1)-a(n+1)) = c(1)*c(4)^(-n-1) + c(2)*c(1)^(-n-1) + c(4)*c(2)^(-n-1), where a(-1):=3 and c(j) is defined as above. For the proof see Remark 6 in the first Witula's paper. - Roman Witula, Aug 14 2012
With respect to the form of the trigonometric formulas describing a(n), we call this sequence the Berndt-type sequence number 20 for the argument 2Pi/7. The A-numbers of other Berndt-type sequences numbers are given in below. - Roman Witula, Sep 30 2012

FORMULA
a(-1-n) = A096975(n).
a(n) = (1-2*cos(1/7*Pi))^(n+1)+(1+2*cos(2/7*Pi))^(n+1)+(1-2*cos(3/7*Pi))^(n+1). - Vladeta Jovovic, Jun 27 2001
a(n) = trace of (n+1)-th power of the 3 X 3 matrix (in the example of A066170): [1 1 1 / 1 1 0 / 1 0 0]. Alternatively, the sum of the (n+1)st powers of the roots of the corresponding characteristic polynomial: x^3 - 2*x^2 - x + 1 = 0. a(n) = A006356(n) + A006356(n-1) + 2*A006356(n-2). E.g., a(3) = 26 = the trace of M^4. The characteristic polynomial of this matrix (see A066170) is x^3 - 2*x^2 - x + 1 and the roots are 2.24697960372..., -0.8019377358... and 0.55495813208... = a, b, c. Then Sum(a^4 + b^4 + c^4) = 26. - Gary W. Adamson, Feb 01 2004
(-1)^(n+1)*a(n) = (c(1))^(-n-1) + (c(2))^(-n-1) + (c(3))^(-n-1) = (c(1)c(2))^(n+1) + (c(1)c(4))^(n+1) + (c(2)c(4))^(n+1) = (s(1)/s(2))^(n+1) + (s(2)/s(4))^(n+1) + (s(4)/s(1))^(n+1), where c(j) := 2*cos(2*Pi*j/7) and s(j) := sin(2*Pi*j/7) - for the proof see Witula's and Witula et al.'s papers. - Roman Witula, Jul 25 2012
a(n) = 3*A077998(n+1) - A006054(n+2) - A006054(n+1). - Roman Witula, Aug 13 2012
a(n)*(-1)^(n+1) = (A094648(n+1)^2 - A094648(2*(n+1)))/2. - Roman Witula, Sep 30 2012
