Number of binary bracelets of n beads, 3 of them 0. For n >= 3, a(n-3) is the number of binary bracelets of n beads, 3 of them 0, with 00 prohibited. - Washington Bomfim, Aug 27 2008
Also number of partitions of n-3 into parts 1, 2, and 3. - Joerg Arndt, Sep 05 2013
Number of incongruent triangles with integer sides that have perimeter 2n-3 (see the Jordan et al. link). - Freddy Barrera, Aug 18 2018
Number of ordered triples (x,y,z) of nonnegative integers such that x+y+z=n and x<y<z. A one-to-one correspondence between the ordered triples (x,y,z) defined above and the partitions (a,b,c) of n into 3 positive parts is shown by letting x=a-1 and letting z=c+1. - Dennis P. Walsh, Apr 19 2019
Number of incongruent triangles formed from any 3 vertices of a regular n-gon. - Frank M Jackson, Sep 11 2022
Also a(n-3) for n > 2, otherwise 0 is the number of incongruent scalene triangles formed from the vertices of a regular n-gon. - Frank M Jackson, Nov 27 2022

FORMULA

G.f.: x^3/((1-x)*(1-x^2)*(1-x^3)) = x^3/((1-x)^3*(1+x+x^2)*(1+x)).
a(n) = round(n^2/12).
Let n = 6k + m. Then a(n) = n^2/12 + a(m) - m^2/12. Also, a(n) = 3*k^2 + m*k + a(m). Example: a(35) = a(6*5 + 5) = 35^2/12 + a(5) - 5^2/12 = 102 = 3*5^2 + 5*5 + a(5). - Gregory L. Simay, Oct 13 2015
a(n) = a(n-1) +a(n-2) -a(n-4) -a(n-5) +a(n-6), n>5. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Oct 16 2015
a(n) = floor((n^2+k)/12) for all integers k such that 3 <= k <= 7. - Giacomo Guglieri, Apr 03 2019
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..floor(n/3)} Sum_{i=k..floor((n-k)/2)} 1.
a(n) = Sum_{i=1..floor(n/3)} floor((n-i)/2) - i + 1. (End)
Sum_{n>=3} 1/a(n) = 15/4 + Pi^2/18 - Pi/(2*sqrt(3)) + tanh(Pi/(2*sqrt(3))) * Pi/sqrt(3). - Amiram Eldar, Sep 27 2022
E.g.f.: (8*exp(-x/2)*cos(sqrt(3)*x/2) + (3*x^2 + 3*x - 8)*cosh(x) + (3*x^2 + 3*x + 1)*sinh(x))/36. - Stefano Spezia, Apr 05 2023
