COMMENTS
a(n) mod 10 gives the 10-periodic sequence 1, 4, 7, 0, 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8 (and repeat, A131579 shifted, A144468 reversed) which contains all ten digits, that has a "palindromic" symmetry: 1 + 8 = 4 + 5 = 7 + 2 = 0 + 9 = 3 + 6 = 9.
The inverse binomial transform gives 1, 3, 10, 30, 90, ... (A062107 shifted). - R. J. Mathar, Feb 11 2010

FORMULA
a(n) = 6*a(n - 1) - 9*a(n - 2) + 4*a(n - 3).
a(n + 1) - 4*a(n) = n.
a(n) = A172416(2n + 1).
G.f.: (1 - 2*x + 2*x^2)/((1 - 4*x) * (x - 1)^2). - R. J. Mathar, Feb 11 2010
E.g.f.: (10*exp(4*x) - (1 + 3*x)*exp(x))/9. - G. C. Greubel, Nov 02 2018
