FORMULA

a(n) = Sum_{ b,c >= 0, b+c <= n } (n+b+2c)!/ ((n-b-c)! b! c! 2^b 6^c).

The sum is dominated by the b=0, c=n term, so a(n) ~ constant*(3*n)!/(n!*6^n).

EXAMPLE

a(0) = 1;

a(1) = 3: {1} {12} {123}

a(2) = 31: {1,2} {1,23} {2,13} {3,12} {1,234} {2,134} {3,124} {4,123}

{12,34} {13,24} {14,23} {12,345} {13,245} {14,235} {15,234} {23,145} {24,135}

{25,134} {34,125} {35,124} {45,123} {123,456} {124,356} {125,346} {126,345}

{134,256} {135,246} {136,245} {145,236} {146,235} {156,234}.
