COMMENTS

Related to Incomplete Gamma Function at 1/3.

For positive n, a(n) equals 3^n times the permanent of the nXn matrix with (4/3)'s along the main diagonal, and 1's everywhere else. [From John M. Campbell, Jul 10 2011]

FORMULA

E.g.f.: exp(x)/(1-3*x).

a(n) = floor( e^(1/3)*n!*3^n ).

a(n) = n!*Sum(3^(n-k)/k!, k=0..n).

a(n) = n!*(e^(1/3)-Sum(3^(n-k)/k!, k=n+1...)).

a(n) = Sum[P(n, k)*3^k, {k, 0, n}]. - Ross La Haye (rlahaye(AT)new.rr.com), Aug 29 2005
