The a(n) represent the number of n-move routes of a fairy chess piece starting in the center square (m = 5) on a 3 X 3 chessboard. This fairy chess piece behaves like a white queen on the eight side and corner squares but on the central square the queen explodes with fury and turns into a red queen.
On a 3 X 3 chessboard there are 2^9 = 512 ways to explode with fury on the center square (off the center square the piece behaves like a normal queen). The red queen is represented by the A[5] vector in the fifth row of the adjacency matrix A, see the Maple program and A180140. For the center square the 512 red queens lead to 17 red queen sequences, see the overview of red queen sequences and the crossreferences.
The sequence above corresponds to just one red queen vector, i.e., A[5] = [111 111 111] vector. The other squares lead for this vector to A090018.
This sequence belongs to a family of sequences with g.f. (1+k*x)/(1 - 6*x - k*x^2). The members of this family that are red queen sequences are A180028 (k=3; this sequence), A180029 (k=2), A015451 (k=1), A000400 (k=0), A001653 (k=-1), A180034 (k=-2), A084120 (k=-3), A154626 (k=-4) and A000012 (k=-5). Other members of this family are A123362 (k=5), 6*A030192(k=-6).

Paul Barry, Jan 13 2009

Hankel transform of 1,1,3,11,45,... (see A026375). Binomial transform of A015448.
From Gary W. Adamson, Jul 22 2016: (Start)
A production matrix for the sequence is M =
  1, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...
  1, 0, 5, 0, 0, ...
  1, 0, 0, 5, 0, ...
  1, 0, 0, 0, 5, ...
  ...
Take powers of M, extracting the upper left terms; getting
the sequence starting (1, 1, 2, 8, 40, 208, ...). (End)
The sequence is N=5 in an infinite set of INVERT transforms of powers of N prefaced with a "1". (1, 2, 8, 40, ...) is the INVERT transform of (1, 1, 5, 25, 125, ...). The first six of such sequences are shown in A006012 (N=3). - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 24 2016
From Gary W. Adamson, Jul 27 2016: (Start)
The sequence is the first in an infinite set in which we perform the operation for matrix M (Cf. Jul 22 2016), but change the left border successively from (1, 1, 1, 1, ...) then to (1, 2, 2, 2, ...), then (1, 3, 3, 3, ...) ...; generally (1, N, N, N, ...). Extracting the upper left terms of each matrix operation, we obtain the infinite set beginning:
  N=1  (A154626): 1,  2,  8,  40,  208,  1088, ...
  N=2  (A084120): 1,  3, 15,  81,  441,  1403, ...
  N=3  (A180034): 1,  4, 22, 124,  700,  3952, ...
  N=4  (A001653): 1,  5, 29, 169,  985,  5741, ...
  N=5  (A000400): 1,  6, 36, 216, 1296,  7776, ...
  N=6  (A015451): 1,  7, 43, 265, 1633, 10063, ...
  N=7  (A180029): 1,  8, 50, 316, 1996, 12608, ...
  N=8  (A180028): 1,  9, 57, 369, 1285, 15417, ...
  N=9  (.......): 1, 10, 64, 424, 2800, 18496, ...
  N=10 (A123361): 1, 11, 71, 481, 3241, 21851, ...
  N=11 (.......): 1, 12, 78, 540, 3708, 25488, ...
... Each of the sequences begins (1, (N+1), (7*N + 1),
  (40*N + (N-1)^2), ... (End)
The set of infinite sequences shown (Cf. comment of Jul 27 2016), can be generated from the matrices P = [(1,N; 1,5]^n, (N=1,2,3,...) by extracting the upper left terms. Example: N=6 sequence (A015451): (1, 7, 43, 265, ...) can be generated from the matrix P = [(1,6); (1,5)]^n. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 28 2016
