Trisections:

3, 6, 6, 27, 27, 66, 66, ... = 3*(1, 2, 2, 9, 9, 22, 22, ... ). See A056105.

3, 3, 18, 18, 51, 51, 102, ... = 3*(1, 1, 6, 6, 17, 17, ... ). See A056109.

2, 11, 11, 38, 38, 83, 83, ... (== 2 (mod 9)).

The trisections also have the signature (1,2,-2,-1,1). The corresponding main sequence is 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 3, 3, ... = A161680(n) with each term duplicated.

Table of n, a(n) for n=0..56.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1,2,-2,-1,1).

Formula

a(n) = (A261327(n+2) + A261327(n-3))/5.

a(n+1) = a(n) + (-1)^n * A022998(n), a(0)=3.

a(n+3) = a(n) + 3*A193356(n), a(0)=a(1)=3, a(2)=2.

a(n) = 3 + A174474(n).

a(2n) + a(2n+1) = A255844(n).

From Colin Barker, Jan 22 2016: (Start)

a(n) = (2*n^2 - 6*(-1)^n*n - 2*n + 3*(-1)^n + 21)/8.

a(n) = (n^2 - 4*n + 12)/4 for n even.

a(n) = (n^2 + 2*n + 9)/4 for n odd.

a(n) = a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) - 2*a(n-3) - a(n-4) + a(n-5) for n > 4.

G.f.: (3 - 7*x^2 + 4*x^3 + 2*x^4) / ((1-x)^3*(1+x)^2).

Example

a(0) = (2+13)/5, a(1) = (13+2)/5, a(2) = (5+5)/5, a(3) = (29+1)/5, ... (using first formula).
