COMMENTS

First 20 terms computed by Davide M. Proserpio using ToposPro.

The tiling is called "3-RCO-trille" in Conway, Burgiel, Goodman-Strauss, 2008, p. 297. - Felix Fröhlich, Feb 11 2018

FORMULA

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Feb 11 2018: (Start)

G.f.: (1 + x)^3*(1 + x^2)*(1 + 3*x + 5*x^2 + 3*x^3 + x^4) / ((1 - x)^3*(1 + x + x^2)^3).

a(n) = 3*a(n-3) - 3*a(n-6) + a(n-9) for n>9.

(End)

G.f.: (x^2+1)*(x^4+3*x^3+5*x^2+3*x+1)*(x+1)^3 / (1-x^3)^3. - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 12 2018 (This confirms my conjecture from Feb 10 2018 and the above conjecture from Colin Barker.)

a(n) = (60 + 104*n^2 + (n^2 - 6)*cos(2*n*Pi/3) - 3*sqrt(3)*n*sin(2*n*Pi/3))/27 for n > 0. - Stefano Spezia, Jan 23 2022
