0,9

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.

a(A016933(n))=a(A016957(n))=a(A016969(n))=n+1; - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Feb 27 2008

It appears that this is also the number of partitions of 2n that are 4-term arithmetic progressions. [From John W. Layman (layman(AT)math.vt.edu), May 01 2009]

a(n) is the number of (n+3)-digit fixed points under the base-3 Kaprekar map A164993 (see A164997 for the list of fixed points). [From Joseph Myers (jsm(AT)polyomino.org.uk), Sep 04 2009]
