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).

The a(n) represent the number of n-move routes of a fairy chess piece starting in the corner and side squares (m = 1, 3, 7, 9; 2, 4, 6, 8) 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, see A180032.
The sequence above corresponds to 56 red queen vectors, i.e. A[5] vector, with decimal values between 7 and 448. The central squares lead for these vectors to A180036.
For n>=1, a(n) equals the numbers of words of length n-1 on alphabet {0,1,2,3,5} containing no subwords 00, 11 and 22. - Milan Janjic, Jan 31 2015

The a(n) represent the number of n-move paths of a chess queen starting or ending in the central square (m = 5) on a 3 X 3 chessboard. The other squares lead to A180030.
To determine the a(n) we can either sum the components of the column vector A^n[k,m], with A the adjacency matrix of the queen's graph, or we can sum the components of the row vector A^n[m,k], see the Maple program.
Closely related with this sequence are the red queen sequences, see A180028 and A180032.
This sequence belongs to a family of sequences with g.f. (1+k*x)/(1 - 5*x - (k+5)*x^2). The members of this family that are red queen sequences are A180031 (k=3; this sequence), A152240 (k=2), A000400 (k=1), A057088 (k=0), A122690 (k=-1), A180036 (k=-2), A180038 (k=-3), A015449 (k=-4) and A000007 (k=-5). Other members of this family are A030221 (k= -6), 3*A109114 (k=-8), 4*A020989 (k=-9), 6*A166060 (k=-11).
