FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - 11*a(n-2) + 6*a(n-3) for n>9.
Empirical: a(n) = 529*3^(n-3) + 1832*2^(n-1) + 10087 for n>6.
Empirical g.f.: x*(8501 - 35786*x + 21445*x^2 + 27721*x^3 + 3730*x^4 - 2832*x^5 - 2158*x^6 - 393*x^7 - 54*x^8) / ((1 - x)*(1 - 2*x)*(1 - 3*x)). - Colin Barker, Dec 13 2018
