%F A316316 Apparently, a(n + 12) = a(n) + 40 for any n > 0. - _Rémy Sigrist_, Jun 30 2018
%F A316316 From _N. J. A. Sloane_, Jun 30 2018: This conjecture is true.
%F A316316 Theorem: a(n + 12) = a(n) + 40 for any n > 0.
%F A316316 The proof uses the Coloring Book Method described in the Goodman-Strauss - Sloane article. For details see the two links.
%F A316316 From _Colin Barker_, Dec 13 2018: (Start)
%F A316316 G.f.: (1 + 3*x + 5*x^2 + 2*x^3 + 5*x^4 + 3*x^5 + x^6) / ((1 - x)^2*(1 + x^2)*(1 + x + x^2)).
%F A316316 a(n) = a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 2*a(n-3) - a(n-4) + a(n-5) - a(n-6) for n>6.
%F A316316 (End)
%F A316316 a(n) = (2/9)*(15*n + 9*A056594(n-1) - 6*A102283(n)) for n > 0. - _Stefano Spezia_, Jun 12 2021
