Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,-2,1).
FORMULA
O.g.f.: f(z) = ((1-z)^2/(1-3*z+2*z^2-z^3))*(1-z^2+z^4) + z/(1-3*z+2*z^2-z^3) + (1-z+z^2)/(1-3*z+2*z^2-z^3).
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n >= 7, with a(0)=2, a(1)=4, a(2)=9, a(3)=23, a(4)=55, a(5)=126, a(6)=292.
