Examples
We have a(5)=7*a(2), a(4)=21*a(2), a(4)=3*a(5), a(6)=21*a(4), a(7)=14*a(4), 3*a(7)=2*a(6), a(8)-a(9)=7*a(5), a(9)=21*a(6), 2*a(9)=63*a(7), a(12)=455*a(9) - especially the values and the relations connecting with a(8) and a(9) are very attractive.

Formula
a(n) = (1/7)*((c(2)-c(4))*(1+3*c(1))^n + (c(4)-c(1))*(1+3*c(2))^n + (c(1)-c(2))*(1+3*c(4))^n), where c(j):=2*cos(2*Pi*j/7) (for the proof see formula (3.17) for d=3 in the Witula-Slota-Warzynski paper).
G.f.: 9*x^2/(1-21*x^2-7*x^3).
