Formula
a(n) = 3*A008292(n-1,3)- 2*binomial(n,3)+binomial(n,2)-1 for n > 1.
a(n) = A065826(n-1,3)- 2*binomial(n,3)+binomial(n,2)-1 for n > 1.
a(n) = 3^n-3*n*2^(n-1)-2*binomial(n,3)+4*binomial(n,2)-1 for n > 1.

G.f.: 2*x^5*(11 - 35*x + 32*x^2 - 6*x^3) / ((1 - x)^4*(1 - 2*x)^2*(1 - 3*x)).
a(n) = 11*a(n-1) - 50*a(n-2) + 122*a(n-3) - 173*a(n-4) + 143*a(n-5) - 64*a(n-6) + 12*a(n-7) for n>8.
a(n) = -1 + 3^n - (16+9*2^n)*n/6 + 3*n^2 - n^3/3 for n>1.
