FORMULA
a(n) = [x^n] 1/((1+x) * (1-x)^(2*n)).
a(n) = binomial(3*n-1, n)*hypergeom([1, -n], [1-3*n], -1). - Stefano Spezia, Apr 07 2024
From Vaclav Kotesovec, Apr 07 2024: (Start)
Recurrence: 8*n*(2*n - 1)*(28*n^2 - 87*n + 67)*a(n) = 2*(1456*n^4 - 6008*n^3 + 8593*n^2 - 4949*n + 960)*a(n-1) + 3*(3*n - 5)*(3*n - 4)*(28*n^2 - 31*n + 8)*a(n-2).
a(n) ~ 3^(3*n + 1/2) / (sqrt(Pi*n) * 2^(2*n+2)). (End)
