FORMULA
a(n) = floor((n+2)/3)^2. - Vaclav Kotesovec, May 13 2012
G.f.: -x*(x+1)*(x^2-x+1) / ((x-1)^3*(x^2+x+1)^2). - Colin Barker, Oct 06 2014
E.g.f.: exp(-x/2)*(exp(3*x/2)*(5 + 3*x*(3 + x)) + (6*x - 5)*cos(sqrt(3)*x/2) + sqrt(3)*(3 + 2*x)*sin(sqrt(3)*x/2))/27. - Stefano Spezia, Oct 17 2022
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = Pi^2/2 (A102753). - Amiram Eldar, Nov 03 2022
