COMMENTS

The number of outcomes of chess tournament with n players.

For n >= 1 a(n) is the size of the Sylow 3-subgroup of the Chevalley group A_n(3) (sequence A053290). - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), Apr 30 2001

The number of binary relations on an n-element set that are both reflexive and antisymmetric. - Justin Witt (justinmwitt(AT)gmail.com), Jul 12 2005

The sequence a(n+1)= [1,3,27,729,59049,14348907,...] is the Hankel transform (see A001906 for definition) of A047891 = 1, 3, 12, 57, 300, 1586, 9912, .... - Philippe DELEHAM, Aug 29 2006

a(n) is the number of binary relations on a set with n elements that are total relations, i.e. for a relation on a set X it holds for all a and b in X that a~b or b~a (or both). E.g. a(2)= 3 because there are three total relations on a set with two elements: {(a,a),(a,b),(b,a),(b,b)}, {(a,a),(a,b),(b,b)}, {(a,a),(b,a),(b,b)}. - Geoffrey Critzer, May 23 2008

The number of semicomplete digraphs (or weak tournaments) on n labeled nodes. - Rémy-Robert Joseph, Nov 12 2012

FORMULA

a(n+1) is the determinant of n X n matrix M_(i, j)=binomial(3*i, j) - Benoit Cloitre, Aug 27 2003

Sequence is given by the Hankel transform (see A001906 for definition) of A007564 = {1, 1, 4, 19, 100, 562, 3304, ...}; example : det([1, 1, 4, 19; 1, 4, 19, 100; 4, 19, 100, 562; 19, 100, 562, 3304]) = 3^6 = 729 . - Philippe DELEHAM, Aug 20 2005

The sequence a(n+1)= [1,3,27,729,59049,14348907,...] is the Hankel transform (see A001906 for definition) of A047891 = 1, 3, 12, 57, 300, 1586, 9912, .., . - Philippe DELEHAM, Aug 29 2006

a(n)=3^(C(2+n,n)), n>=-2. - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jun 16 2007

MAPLE

seq(3^(binomial(2+n, n)), n=-2..12); - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jun 16 2007
