Formula

a(0) = 1, a(1) = 3,

a(n+1) = ( (2*n+1)*(9*n^2+9*n+3)*a(n) + 27*n^3*a(n-1) ) / (n+1)^3.

a(n) ~ 3^(3*n/2 + 1) * (1+sqrt(3))^(2*n+1) / (2^(n + 5/2) * (Pi*n)^(3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 10 2021

G.f.: hypergeom([1/12,5/12],[1],(12*x/(1-6*x-27*x^2))^3)^2/(1-6*x-27*x^2)^(1/2). - Mark van Hoeij, Nov 11 2022

Maple

f:= gfun:-rectoproc({a(0)=1, a(1)=3, a(n+1) = ( (2*n+1)*(9*n^2+9*n+3)*a(n) + 27*n^3*a(n-1) ) / (n+1)^3}, a(n), remember):
