Richard Choulet, Curtz-like transformation.
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,-2,1).
FORMULA
O.g.f.: ((1-x)^2/(1-3*x+2*x^2-x^3))*(1-x^2+x^4+x^6)+((1-x+x^2)/(1-3*x+2*x^2-x^3)).
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n >= 9, with a(0)=2, a(1)=3, a(2)=6, a(3)=16, a(4)=39, a(5)=89, a(6)=207, a(7)=480, a(8)=1116.
