%F a(n) = 9*sqrt(3)*GAMMA(n+5/3)*GAMMA(n+4/3)*27^n/(Pi*GAMMA(2*n+3)).
%F a(n) = binomial(3*n-1, n);
%F Let denote P(n) = the number of integer partitions of n,
%F p(i) = the number of parts of the i-th partition of n,
%F d(i) = the number of different parts of the i-th partition of n,
%F m(i,j) = multiplicity of the j-th part of the i-th partition of n.
%F Then one has:
%F a(n) = Sum_{i=1..P(n)} (2*n)!/((2*n-p(i))!*(Prod_{j=1..d(i)} m(i,j)!)).
%F a(n) = rf(2*n,n)/ff(n,n), where rf is the rising factorial and ff the falling factorial. - _Peter Luschny_, Nov 21 2012
%F G.f.: A(x) = x*B'(x)/B(x), where B(x) satisfies B(x)^3-2*B(x)^2+B(x)=x, B(x)=A006013(x). - _Vladimir Kruchinin_, Feb 06 2013
%F G.f.: A(x) = sqrt(3*x)*cot(asin((3^(3/2)*sqrt(x))/2)/3)/(sqrt(4-27*x)). - _Vladimir Kruchinin_, Mar 18 2015
%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n-1,n-k)*binomial(2*n,k). - _Vladimir Kruchinin_, Oct 06 2015

%F The o.g.f. equals f(x)/g(x), where f(x) is the o.g.f. for A005809 and g(x) is the o.g.f. for A001764. More generally, f(x)*g(x)^k is the o.g.f. for the sequence binomial(3*n + k,n). Cf. A045721 (k = 1), A025174 (k = 2), A004319 (k = 3), A236194 (k = 4), A013698 (k = 5) and A117671 (k = -2). (End)

%F a(n) = A059481(2n,n). - _Alois P. Heinz_, Oct 17 2022
%F From _Peter Bala_, Feb 14 2024: (Start)
%F a(n) = (-1)^n * binomial(-2*n, n).
%F a(n) = hypergeom([1 - 2*n, -n], [1], 1).
%F The g.f. A(x) satisfies A(x/(1 + x)^3) = 1/(1 - 2*x).
%F Sum_{n >= 0} a(n)/9^n = (1 + 4*cos(Pi/9))/3.
%F Sum_{n >= 0} a(n)/27^n = (3 + 4*sqrt(3)*cos(Pi/18))/9.
%F Sum_{n >= 0} a(n)*(2/27)^n = (2 + sqrt(3))/3. (End)
%F From _Peter Bala_, Sep 16 2024: (Start)
%F a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..n} binomial(n+k-1, k)*binomial(2*n-k-1, n-k).
%F More generally, a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..n} (-1)^k*binomial(x*n, k)*binomial((x+3)*n-k-1, n-k) for arbitrary x.
%F a(n) = (2/3) * Sum_{k = 0..n} (-1)^k*binomial(x*n+k-1, k)*binomial((x+3)*n, n-k) for n >= 1 and arbitrary x. (End)
%e Let [1,1,1], [1,2] and [3] be the integer partitions of n=3.
%e Then [0,0,0,1,1,1], [0,0,0,0,1,2] and [0,0,0,0,0,3] are the corresponding partitions occupying 2*n = 6 positions.
%e We have to take into account the multiplicities of the parts including the multiplicities of the zeros.
%e Then
%e [0,0,0,1,1,1] --> 6!/(3!*3!) = 20
%e [0,0,0,0,1,2] --> 6!/(4!*1!*1!) = 30
%e [0,0,0,0,0,3] --> 6!/(5!*1!) = 6
%e and thus a(3) = 20+30+6=56.
%e a(2)=10, since we have 10 ordered partitions of n=2 where the parts are distributed over 2*n=4 boxes:
%e [0, 0, 0, 2]
%e [0, 0, 1, 1]
%e [0, 0, 2, 0]
%e [0, 1, 0, 1]
%e [0, 1, 1, 0]
%e [0, 2, 0, 0]
%e [1, 0, 0, 1]
%e [1, 0, 1, 0]
%e [1, 1, 0, 0]
%e [2, 0, 0, 0].
