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

It appears that the Hankel transform is 3^A002412(n). [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Aug 01 2008]

Hankel transform of the aerated sequence is 3^C(n+1,3). [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 31 2008]

FORMULA

a(n) = sum_{i=1}^{n-1} q^{(i-1)} a(i) a(n-i).

G.f. satisfies: A(x) = 3*x/(3-A(3*x)) = x/(1-x/(1-3*x/(1-3^2*x/(1-3^3*x/(1-...))))) (continued fraction). - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Jan 24 2005

a(n) = the upper left term in M^n, M = an infinite square 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,...

...

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=if(n==1, 1, sum(i=1, n-1, 3^(i-1)*a(i)*a(n-i))) (Hanna)
