FORMULA

Also Fibonacci(2n)*3^(n-1).

a(n) = S(n, 3)*3^n with S(n, x) := U(n, x/2), Chebyshev's polynomials of the 2nd kind, A049310.

a(n) = A001906(n)*A000244(n-1) = A001906(n)*A000244(n)/3. - Robert G. Wilson v, Sep 21 2006

a(2k) = A004187(k)*9^k/3, a(2k-1) = A033890(k)*9^k.

G.f.: x/(1-9*x+9*x^2).

a(n) = (1/3)*sum(k=0, n, binomial(n, k)*F(4*k)) where F(k) denotes the k-th Fibonacci number. - Benoit Cloitre, Jun 21 2003

a(n) = -(1/15)*[9/2-(3/2)*sqrt(5)]^n*sqrt(5)+(1/15)*sqrt(5)*[9/2+(3/2)*sqrt(5)]^n. - Paolo P. Lava, Jun 16 2008

a(n+1) = Sum_{k=0..n} A109466(n,k)*9^k. - Philippe Deléham, Oct 28 2008
