FORMULA
a(n) = 1/6*cos(1/3*Pi*n)+1/6*3^(1/2)*sin(1/3*Pi*n)+1/2*cos(2/3*Pi*n)+1/6*3^(1/2)*sin(2/3*Pi*n)+2/3*(-1)^(1+n). - R. J. Mathar, Nov 15 2007
G.f.: x*(x^2+1) / ((x+1)*(x^2-x+1)*(x^2+x+1)). [Maksym Voznyy (voznyy(AT)mail.ru), Aug 11 2009]
a(n) + a(n-1) + a(n-2) + a(n-3) + a(n-4) + a(n-5) = 0 for n>4. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jun 20 2016
