%N a(n) = -3*a(n-1) + a(n-3), with a(0)=0, a(1)=6, and a(2)=-15.

%C The Berndt-type sequence number 9 for the argument 2Pi/9 defined by the first relation from the section "Formula" below.

%C We have a(n) = 3*(-1)^(n+1)*A215448(n+1). From the recurrence formula for a(n) it follows that all a(3*n) are divisible by 9, a(3*n+1)/3 are congruent to 2 modulo 3, and a(3*n+2)/3 are congruent to 1 modulo 3. In the consequence also all sums a(n)+a(n+1)+a(n+2) are divisible by 9.

%C From general recurrence X(n) = -3*X(n-1) + X(n-3) the following formula can be deduced: 3*sum{k=2,..,n-1} X(k) = -X(n)-X(n-1)-X(n-2)+X(2)+X(1)+X(0). Hence, in the case of a(n) we obtain 3*sum{k=2,..,n-1} a(k) = -a(n)-a(n-1)-a(n-2)-9.

%C If we set X(n) = -3*X(n-1) + X(n-3), n in Z, with a(n) = X(n) for n=0,1,... then X(-n) = abs(A215666(n)) = (-1)^n*A215666(n), for every n=0,1,...

%C The following decomposition holds true (X - c(1)*(-c(4))^(-n))*(X - c(2)*(-c(1))^(-n))*(X - c(4)*(-c(2))^(-n)) = X^3 - a(n)*X^2 + (-1)^n*(A215665(n) - A215664(n))*X + 1.
