COMMENTS
For n >= 1, a(n) is the order of the wreath product of the symmetric group S_n and the Abelian group (C_9)^n. - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), May 07 2001
a(n) = 9*A035023(n) = Product_{k=1..n} 9*k, n >= 1; a(0) := 1.
Pi^n/a(n) is the volume of a 2n-dimensional ball with radius 1/3. - Peter Luschny, Jul 24 2012
FORMULA
a(n) = n!*9^n =: (9*n)(!^9).
E.g.f.: 1/(1-9*x).
G.f.: 1/(1 - 9*x/(1 - 9*x/(1 - 18*x/(1 - 18*x/(1 - 27*x/(1 - 27*x/(1 - ...))))))), a continued fraction. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Aug 09 2017
From Amiram Eldar, Jun 25 2020: (Start)
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = e^(1/9).
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = e^(-1/9). (End)
