The given problem is a linear homogeneous recurrence relation with constant coefficients. The recurrence relation is:

$a_n = 9a_{n-1} - 15a_{n-2} + 7a_{n-3}, \quad n \geq 3$

with initial conditions:

$a_0 = 0, \, a_1 = 1, \, a_2 = 2.$

Steps to Solve:

1. Find the characteristic equation

The recurrence relation has the general form: $a_n = c_1 a_{n-1} + c_2 a_{n-2} + c_3 a_{n-3}.$

The characteristic equation is: $r^3 - 9r^2 + 15r - 7 = 0.$

Here $r$ represents the roots of the characteristic polynomial.

2. Solve for the roots

We solve $r^3 - 9r^2 + 15r - 7 = 0$ to find the characteristic roots. Let's solve it step by step.
