FORMULA
From Michael Somos, Oct 13 2002: (Start)
G.f.: x^3(6-2x-12x^2)/((1-x)^3(1-2x)^2(1-3x)).
a(n) = A008517(n, 3) = (9*3^n - (12+8*n)*2^n + (3+6*n+4*n^2))/2. (End)
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-3} (-1)^(n+k)*binomial(2*n+1, k)*Stirling1(2*n-k-2, n-k-2). - Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 16 2009
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 6*x^3 + 58*x^4 + 328*x^5 + 1452*x^6 + 5610*x^7 + 19950*x^8 + ...
