%N Expansion of (1 - x + 2*x^2 - x^3) / ((1 - x)^2 * (1 - x^3)) in powers of x.

%C The sequence is a quasi-polynomial sequence.

%C Given a sequence of Laurent polynomials defined by b(n) = (b(n-2)^2 - b(n-1)*b(n-3) * 2/x) / b(n-4), b(-2) = x, b(-4) = -b(-3) = -b(-1) = 1. Then the denominator of b(n) is x^a(n).

%H G. C. Greubel, <a href="/A236343/b236343.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..2500</a>

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_05">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (2,-1,1,-2,1).

%F 0 = a(n)*(a(n+2) + a(n+3)) + a(n+1)*(-2*a(n+2) - a(n+3) + a(n+4)) + a(n+2)*(a(n+2) - 2*a(n+3) + a(n+4)) for all n in Z.

%F G.f.: (1 - x + 2*x^2 - x^3) / ((1 - x)^2 * (1 - x^3)).

%F Second difference is period 3 sequence [2, 0, -1, ...].

%F a(n) = 2*a(n-3) + a(n-6) + 3 = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + a(n-3) - 2*a(n-4) + a(n-5).

%F a(-6-n) = A236337(n).

%F From _Peter Bala_, Feb 11 2019: (Start)

%F a(3*n) = (1/2)*(n + 1)*(3*n + 2);

%F a(3*n+1) = (1/2)*(n + 1)*(3*n + 4) - 1;

%F a(3*n+2) = (1/2)*(n + 1)*(3*n + 6). (End)

%e G.f. = 1 + x + 3*x^2 + 5*x^3 + 6*x^4 + 9*x^5 + 12*x^6 + 14*x^7 + 18*x^8 + ...
