COMMENTS
Preface the series with a 1, then the next term = (1, 4, 7, 10, ...) dot (1, 1, 5, 40, ...). E.g., a(5) = 6160 = (1, 4, 7, 10, 13) dot (1, 1, 5, 40, 440) = (1 + 4 + 35 + 400 + 5720). - Gary W. Adamson, May 17 2010
In other words, a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n-1} b(i)*A016777(i) where b(0)=1 and b(n)=a(n). - Michel Marcus, Dec 18 2022

FORMULA
a(n) = A007661(3n-1)/2 = A008544(n)/2.
2*a(n+1) = (3*n+2)!!! = Product_{j=0..n} (3*j+2), n >= 0.
E.g.f.: (-1 + (1-3*x)^(-2/3))/2.
a(n) = (3*n-1)!/(2*3^(n-1)*(n-1)!*A007559(n)).
a(n) ~ 3/2*2^(1/2)*Pi^(1/2)*Gamma(2/3)^-1*n^(7/6)*3^n*e^-n*n^n*{1 + 23/36*n^-1 + ...}. - Joe Keane (jgk(AT)jgk.org), Nov 23 2001
a(n) = 3^n*(n+2/3)!/(2/3)!, with offset 0. - Paul Barry, Sep 04 2005
D-finite with recurrence a(n) + (1-3*n)*a(n-1) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Dec 03 2012
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 2*(e/3)^(1/3)*(Gamma(2/3) - Gamma(2/3, 1/3)). - Amiram Eldar, Dec 18 2022
