%N a(n) = 3^n + (-1)^n - [1/(n+1)], where [] represents the floor function.
%C Binomial transform of A084181.
%C From _Peter Bala_, Dec 26 2012: (Start)
%C Let F(x) = product {n >= 0} (1 - x^(3*n+1))/(1 - x^(3*n+2)). This sequence is the simple continued fraction expansion of the real number F(-1/3) = 1.47627 73316 74531 44215 ... = 1 + 1/(2 + 1/(10 + 1/(26 + 1/(82 + ...)))). See A111317.
