G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000
FORMULA
G.f.: (1 - 9*x)^(-4/3).
a(n) ~ 3*Gamma(1/3)^-1*n^(1/3)*3^(2*n)*(1 + 2/9*n^-1 - ...).
a(n) = (3^(2*n))/(Integral_{x=0..1} (1-x^3)^n dx). - Al Hakanson (hawkuu(AT)excite.com), Dec 04 2003
D-finite with recurrence: n*a(n) +3*(-3*n-1)*a(n-1)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 17 2020
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = sqrt(3)*Pi/8 + 3*log(3)/8. - Amiram Eldar, Dec 02 2022
