The compositions of n in which each natural number is colored by one of p different colors are called p-colored compositions of n. For n>=11, 3*a(n-11) equals the number of 3-colored compositions of n with all parts >=6, such that no adjacent parts have the same color. - Milan Janjic, Nov 27 2011
a(n) equals the number of ternary words of length n having at least 5 zeros between every two successive nonzero letters. - Milan Janjic, Mar 09 2015
