%N Positive hexagonal numbers (A000384) that are other hexagonal numbers divided by 3.

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_03">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (37635,-37635,1).

%F a(n) = 37635*a(n-1)-37635*a(n-2)+a(n-3).

%F G.f.: -x*(x^2+3120*x+15) / ((x-1)*(x^2-37634*x+1)).

%e 15 is in the sequence because 15 is the 3rd hexagonal number, and 3*15 is the 5th hexagonal number.

%o (PARI) Vec(-x*(x^2+3120*x+15)/((x-1)*(x^2-37634*x+1)) + O(x^20))
