FORMULA
G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} n! * (3*x)^n * (1+x)^n / Product_{k=1..n} (1 + 3*k*x).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} Sum_{i=0..k} (-1)^i * binomial(k,i) * 3^(n-k) * (k-i+1)^(n-k).
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + 3*x + 12*x^2 + 54*x^3 + 288*x^4 + 1782*x^5 + 12474*x^6 +...
where we have the following series identity:
A(x) = 1/((1+x)*(1-3*x)) + x/((1+x)^2*(1-6*x)) + x^2/((1+x)^3*(1-9*x))+ x^3/((1+x)^4*(1-12*x))+ x^4/((1+x)^5*(1-15*x)) + x^5/((1+x)^6*(1-18*x)) +...
is equal to
A(x) = 1 + 3*x*(1+x)/(1+3*x) + 2!*(3*x)^2*(1+x)^2/((1+3*x)*(1+6*x)) + 3!*(3*x)^3*(1+x)^3/((1+3*x)*(1+6*x)*(1+9*x)) + 4!*(3*x)^4*(1+x)^4/((1+3*x)*(1+6*x)*(1+9*x)*(1+12*x)) + 5!*(3*x)^5*(1+x)^5/((1+3*x)*(1+6*x)*(1+9*x)*(1+12*x)*(1+15*x)) +...
