Consider the binomial transform of 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 (period 6) with its differences:
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 6, 21, 56, 126,... d(n): after 0, it is A192080.
0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 5, 15, 35, 70, 126,... e(n)
0, 0, 0, 1, 4, 10, 20, 35, 56, 85,... f(n)
0, 0, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 29, 45,... a(n)
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 16, 45,... b(n)
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 8, 29, 85,... c(n)
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 6, 21, 56, 126,... d(n).
a(n) + d(n) = A024495(n),
b(n) + e(n) = A131708(n),
c(n) + f(n) = A024493(n).
a(n) - d(n) = 0, 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 9, 0,... A057083(n-2)
b(n) - e(n) = 0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 0, -9, -27,... A057682(n)
c(n) - f(n) = 1, 1, 1, 0, -3, -9, -18, -27,... A057681(n)
d(n) - a(n) = 0, 0, -1, -3, -6, -9, -9, 0,... -A057083(n-2)
e(n) - b(n) = 0, -1, -2, -3, -3, 0, 9, 27,... -A057682(n)
f(n) - c(n) = -1, -1, -1, 0, 3, 9, 18, 27,... -A057681(n).
The first column is A131531(n).
The first two trisections are multiples of 3. Is the third (1, 10, 29,...) mod 9 A029898(n)?
FORMULA
a(n) = 6*a(n-1) -15*a(n-2) +20*a(n-3) -15*a(n-4) +6*a(n-5) for n>5, a(0)=a(1)=0, a(2)=1, a(3)=3, a(4)=6, a(5)=10.
a(n) = A024495(n) - A192080(n-5) for n>4.
G.f.: -(x^5 - 3*x^4 + 3*x^3 - x^2)/((1-2*x)*(1-x+x^2)*(1-3*x+3*x^2)). - Ralf Stephan, Jul 13 2013
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/6)} binomial(n,6*k+2). - Seiichi Manyama, Mar 23 2019
EXAMPLE
a(6)=6*10-15*6+20*3-15*1+6*0=15, a(7)=90-150+120-45+6=21.
