FORMULA
G.f.: x/((1-x-x^3)*(1-x)^4).
From G. C. Greubel, Jul 27 2022: (Start)
a(n) = Sum_{j=0..floor((n+3)/3)} binomial(n-2*j+3, j+4).
a(n) = A099567(n+3, 4). (End)
MAPLE
a:= n-> (Matrix(7, (i, j)-> if i=j-1 then 1 elif j=1 then [5, -10, 11, -9, 7, -4, 1][i] else 0 fi)^n)[1, 2]: seq(a(n), n=0..40);
