COMMENT

If the two leading 0's are dropped, this becomes the essentially identical sequence A103221, with g.f. 1/((1-x^2)*(1-x^3)), which arises in many contexts. For example, 1/((1-x^4)*(1-x^6)) is the Poincare series for modular forms of weight w for the full modular group. As generators one may take the Eisenstein series E_4 (A004009) and E_6 (A013973).

Apart from initial term(s), dimension of the space of weight 2n cusp forms for Gamma_0( 1 ).

Apart from initial term(s), dimension of the space of weight 2n cuspidal newforms for Gamma_0( 5 ).

a(n) is the number of ways n can be written as the sum of a positive even number and a nonnegative multiple of 3, and so the number of ways (n-2) can be written as the sum of a nonnegative even number and a nonnegative multiple of 3, and also the number of ways (n+3) can be written as the sum of a positive even number and a positive multiple of 3.
