Limit_{n->inf} a(n)/3^((n-1)(n-2)/2) = Product{k>=1} 1/(1-1/3^k) = 1.785312341998534190367486296013703535718796... - Paul D. Hanna, Jan 24 2005

FORMULA
a(n+1) = Sum_{i=0..n} q^i*a(i)*a(n-i) with q=3 and a(0)=1.
G.f. satisfies: A(x) = 1/(1-x*A(3*x)) = 1/(1-x/(1-3*x/(1-3^2*x/(1-3^3*x/(1-...))))) (continued fraction). - Paul D. Hanna, Jan 24 2005
a(n) = the upper left term in M^n, M an infinite production matrix as follows:
1, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...
1, 3, 9, 0, 0, 0, ...
1, 3, 9, 27, 0, 0, ...
1, 3, 9, 27, 81, 0, ...
... - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 14 2011
G.f.: T(0), where T(k) = 1 - x*3^k/(x*3^k - 1/T(k+1) ); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 18 2013
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 + x + 4*x^2 + 43*x^3 + 1252*x^4 + 104098*x^5 + 25511272*x^6 + ...
From Seiichi Manyama, Dec 05 2016: (Start)
a(1) = 1,
a(2) = 3^1 + 1 = 4,
a(3) = 3^3 + 3^2 + 2*3^1 + 1 = 43,
a(4) = 3^6 + 3^5 + 2*3^4 + 3*3^3 + 3*3^2 + 3*3^1 + 1 = 1252. (End)
