%N a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + 2*a(n-3) for n>2, a(0)=a(1)=1, a(2)=3.
%C a(n) is the first sequence on three (with its first and second differences):
%C 1, 1, 3, 8, 17, 33, 64, 127, ...;
%C 0, 2, 5, 9, 16, 31, 63, 128, ..., that is 0 followed by A130752;
%C 2, 3, 4, 7, 15, 32, 65, 129, ..., that is 2 followed by A130755;
%C 1, 1, 3, 8, 17, 33, 64, 127, ..., this sequence.
%C The main diagonal is 2^n.
%C The sum of the first three lines is 3*2^n.
%C Alternated sum and subtraction of a(n) and its inverse binomial transform (period 3: repeat [1, 0, 2]) gives the autosequence of the first kind b(n):
%C 0, 1, 1, 9, 17, 35, 63, 127, ...
%C 1, 0, 8, 8, 18, 28, 64, 126, ...
%C -1, 8, 0, 10, 10, 36, 62, 134, ...
%C 9, -8, 10, 0, 26, 26, 72, 118, ... .
%C The main diagonal is 0's. The first two upper diagonals are A259713.
%C The sum of the first three lines gives 9*A001045.
%C a(n) mod 9 gives a periodic sequence of length 6: repeat [1, 1, 3, 8, 8, 6].
