%N a(n) equals the sum of the squares of the expansion coefficients for (x + y + 2*z)^n.

%C Equivalently, a(n) equals the sum of the squares of the coefficients in any one of the following polynomials: (1 + 2*x^k + x^p)^n, (2 + x^k + x^p)^n, or (1 + x^k + 2*x^p)^n, for all p > n*k and fixed k > 0.

%C Rescaling the g.f. G(x) to T(u)=G(3*u/16) moves the singular point x=1/16 to u=1/3. Period function T(u) measures precession of the J-vector along an algebraic sphere curve with local cyclic C_3 symmetry.
