COMMENTS
The sequence gives the number of cusps of a family of algebraic surfaces with degrees 3n. They are obtained by using Belyi polynomials in combination with a class of complex polynomials related to the generation of surfaces with many ordinary double points.

FORMULA
a(n) = (1/2)*(12*n^3-9*n^2+4*n-1) if n is odd; a(n) = (1/2)*(12*n^3-12*n^2+7*n-2) if n is even.
G.f.: x*(3+27*x+88*x^2+93*x^3+64*x^4+12*x^5+x^6)/((1-x)^4*(1+x)^3). [Bruno Berselli, Apr 24 2013]
a(n) = (24*n^3-21*n^2+11*n-(3*n^2-3*n+1)*(-1)^n-3)/4. [Bruno Berselli, Apr 24 2013]
