COMMENT

It appears that this sequence is the (L)-sieve transform of {3,6,9,12,...,3n,...}=A008585. (See A152009 for the definition of the (L)-sieve transform.) [From John W. Layman (layman(AT)math.vt.edu), Jan 06 2009]

FORMULA

a(n) = A061418(n)-1 = floor[K*(3/2)^n] where K = 1.08151366859...

The constant K is 2/3*K(3) (see A083286). - Ralf Stephan, May 29, 2003

a(1)=1, a(n)=A070885(n)/3. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Aug 18 2002

a(n) = ceiling((a(n-1)+a(n-2))*9/10) - Frank Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), May 01 2006

EXAMPLE

a(6) = ceiling[8*3/2] = 12.
