COMMENTS
a(n) is also the dimension of the irreducible representation of the Lie algebra sl(3) with the highest weight 2*L_1+n*(L_1+L_2). - Leonid Bedratyuk, Jan 04 2010
Number of edges in the hexagonal triangle, T(n) (see the He et al. reference). - Emeric Deutsch, Nov 14 2014
a(n) = twice the area of a triangle having vertices at binomials (C(n,3),C(n+3,3)), (C(n+1,3),C(n+4,3)), and (C(n+2,3),C(n+5,3)) with n>=2. - J. M. Bergot, Mar 01 2018

FORMULA
a(n) = A000096(n)*3 = (3*n^2 + 9*n)/2 = n*(3*n+9)/2.
a(n) = a(n-1) + 3*n + 3 with n>0, a(0)=0. - Vincenzo Librandi, Nov 24 2010
G.f.: 3*x*(2 - x)/(1 - x)^3. - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Dec 24 2011
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n>2. - Harvey P. Dale, Aug 15 2015
E.g.f.: (1/2)*(3*x^2 + 12*x)*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, Jul 17 2017
From Amiram Eldar, Feb 25 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 11/27.
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 4*log(2)/9 - 5/27. (End)
