Formula

G.f.: 144*x*(1+x)/(1-x)^3. - Bruno Berselli, Feb 10 2012

From Amiram Eldar, Jan 25 2021: (Start)

Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = Pi^2/864.

Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = Pi^2/1728.

Product_{n>=1} (1 + 1/a(n)) = sinh(Pi/12)/(Pi/12).

Product_{n>=1} (1 - 1/a(n)) = sin(Pi/12)/(Pi/12) = 3*sqrt(2)*(sqrt(3)-1)/Pi. (End)

From Elmo R. Oliveira, Dec 02 2024: (Start)

E.g.f.: 144*x*(1 + x)*exp(x).

a(n) = 144*A000290(n) = A008594(n)^2 = A000290(A008594(n)).

a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n > 2. (End)
