FORMULA

a(n)=-2*a(n-1)+2*a(n-2)-a(n-3), a(0)=1, a(1)=-3.

a(n)=sum(m=1..n, sum(k=m..n, (sum(j=0..m, binomial(j,-3*m+k+2*j)*2^(-3*m+k+2*j)*(-1)^(j-m)*(-3)^(3*m-k-j)*binomial(m,j)))*binomial(n+m-k-1,m-1))), n>0, a(0)=1. [From Vladimir Kruchinin kru(AT)ie.tusur.ru, May 06 2011]

PROG

(Maxima)

a(n):=sum(sum((sum(binomial(j, -3*m+k+2*j)*2^(-3*m+k+2*j)*(-1)^(j-m)*(-3)^(3*m-k-j)*binomial(m, j), j, 0, m))*binomial(n+m-k-1, m-1), k, m, n), m, 1, n); [From Vladimir Kruchinin kru(AT)ie.tusur.ru, May 06 2011]
