COMMENTS
The inverse binomial transform is 1, 63, 216, 162, 0, 0, 0 (0 continued). R. J. Mathar, May 07 2008
Perfect cubes with digital root 1 in base 10. Proof: perfect cubes are one of (3*s)^3, (3*s+1)^3 or (3*s+2)^3. Digital roots of (3*s)^3 are 0, digital roots of (3*s+1)^3 are 1, and digital roots of (3*s+2)^3 are 8, using trinomial expansion and the multiplicative property of digits roots. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 31 2010

FORMULA
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 2*Pi^3 / (81*sqrt(3)) + 13*zeta(3)/27.
O.g.f.: (1+60*x+93*x^2+8*x^3)/(1-x)^4. - R. J. Mathar, May 07 2008
E.g.f.: (1 + 63*x + 108*x^2 + 27*x^3)*exp(x). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jun 16 2016
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-2) + 4*a(n-3) - a(n-4). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Oct 02 2020
Sum_{n>=1) (-1)^n/a(n) = A226735. - R. J. Mathar, Feb 07 2024
EXAMPLE
a(2) = (3*2+1)^3 = 343.
a(6) = (3*6+1)^3 = 6859.
