FORMULA
Recurrence: (n-1)*n*(15*n - 46)*a(n) = 48*(270*n^3 - 1503*n^2 + 2478*n - 1280)*a(n-2) - 20736*(3*n - 10)*(3*n - 8)*(15*n - 16)*a(n-4).
a(n) ~ 2^(2*n-3) * 3^(3*n/2).
From Gheorghe Coserea, Jul 27 2018: (Start)
a(n+1) = 4^n * n!!/(n+1)! * Sum_{k=0..n} 3^k*(3*n-2*k+1)!!/(n-k)!. (see Krasko link)
G.f. y(x) satisfies:
0 = 2*(432*x^2 - 1)^2*y^3 + (432*x^2 - 1)*y^2 + 54*x^2*y + x^2.
0 = x*(432*x^2 - 1)*(108*x^2 + 1)*deriv(y,x) + 2*(432*x^2 - 1)*(648*x^2 + 1)*y^2 + (31104*x^4 + 1116*x^2 + 1)*y + 30*x^2.
0 = (5184*x^2 - 7)*(432*x^2 - 1)^2*y''' + 1296*x*(432*x^2 - 1)*(12096*x^2 - 13)*y'' + 48*(199314432*x^4 - 479088*x^2 + 581)*y' + 663552*x*(2592*x^2 - 11)*y.
