This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Formula

Empirical: a(n) = 9*a(n-1) - 27*a(n-2) + 27*a(n-3) for n>5.
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Mar 16 2018: (Start)
G.f.: x^2*(6 - 15*x + 13*x^2 - 2*x^3) / (1 - 3*x)^3.
a(n) = 3^(n-5) * (31*n+32*n^2-30) for n>2.
