%F a(n) = 11a(n-1) - 36a(n-2) + 36a(n-3). - _John W. Layman_

%F a(n) = (6^n - 2*3^n + 2^n)/2. Also -x^2/6*Beta(x, 4) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*(-x/6)^n. Thus x^2*Beta(x, 4) = x - 11/6*x^2 + 85/36*x^3 - 575/216*x^4 + 3661/1296*x^5 - ... . - _Vladeta Jovovic_, Aug 09 2002

%F a(n) = Sum_{0<=i,j,k,<=n, i+j+k=n} 2^i*3^j*6^k. - _Hieronymus Fischer_, Jun 25 2007

%F a(n) = 2^n + 3^(n+1)*(2^n-1). - _Hieronymus Fischer_, Jun 25 2007

%F a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..n-1} 2^(n-2-k) * (3^n - 3^k). - _J. M. Bergot_, Feb 05 2018
