FORMULA
From Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 07 2019: (Start)
a(n) ~ c * d^n / sqrt(Pi*n), where d = 27 * (1 - 2*r)^(-1 + 2*r) * (2 - r)^(-2 + r) / (2^(2*r) * r^r * (1+r)^(2*(1 + r))) = 8.6988890096304955678255243852749992..., r = 1/6 + (27*sqrt(139) - 5)^(1/3) / (6*2^(2/3)) - 37/(6*(54*sqrt(139) - 10)^(1/3)) = 0.1591594336002991371303884200119396931041597457946... is the real root of the equation -2 + 13*r - 4*r^2 + 8*r^3 = 0 and c = 0.670323490697444616208038892968942176908111537748186024028564941159... is the positive real root of the equation -12 + 328*c^2 - 2919*c^4 + 5004*c^6 = 0.
Equivalently, r is the root of the equation arctanh(1-r) = 2*arctanh((4*r+1)/3).
