FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 4*a(n-3) - 4*a(n-6) + a(n-9) for n>15.
Empirical g.f.: x*(897 + 555*x + 529*x^2 - 3018*x^3 - 1583*x^4 - 1352*x^5 + 2211*x^6 + 789*x^7 + 530*x^8 - 386*x^9 - 65*x^10 - 24*x^11 - 26*x^12 - 14*x^13 - 4*x^14) / ((1 - x)*(1 + x + x^2)*(1 - 3*x^3 + x^6)). - Colin Barker, Dec 03 2018
