FORMULA
G.f.: x*(7 + 3*x)/(1-x)^3.
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3).
First differences: a(n) - a(n-1) = 10*n-3.
Second differences: a(n) - 2*a(n-1) + a(n-2) = 10 = A010692(n).
a(n) = A131242(10n+6). - Philippe Deléham, Mar 27 2013
a(n) = A000384(n) + 6*A000217(n). - Luciano Ancora, Mar 28 2015
a(n) = A000217(n) + A000217(3*n). - Bruno Berselli, Jul 01 2016
E.g.f.: x*(7 + 5*x)*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, Jul 29 2016
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 5/4 - sqrt(1-2/sqrt(5))*Pi/4 + sqrt(5)*log(phi)/4 - 5*log(5)/8, where phi is the golden ratio (A001622). - Amiram Eldar, Sep 17 2023
