FORMULA
a(n) = a(n-1)+a(n-2) if n=3*m+1, a(n) = a(n-1)+a(n-4) if n=3*m+2, a(n) = a(n-1)+a(n-6) if n=3*m. Also: a(n) = 2*a(n-3)+3*a(n-6)-a(n-9)-a(n-12).
G.f.: -(-1-x-x^2+x^3-x^5+x^6)/(1-2*x^3-3*x^6+x^9+x^12)
a(n-1) = sequence(sequence(T(n,k), k=2..4), n>=2) with a(0)=1; T(n,k) = sum(T(n-1,k1), k1 = 5-k..4) with T(1,1) = T(1,2) = T(1,3) = 0 and T(1,4) = 1; n>=1 and 1 <= k <= 4. [Steinbach]
EXAMPLE
The first few rows of the T(n,k) array are, n>=1, 1 <= k <=4:
0, 0, 0, 1
1, 1, 1, 1
1, 2, 3, 4
4, 7, 9, 10
10, 19, 26, 30
30, 56, 75, 85
85, 160, 216, 246
