Formula

a(n) = sum(sum(binomial(m,i)*sum(binomial(i,j)*(1/4)^j*(3*j+i)^n,j,0,i)*(-5/4)^(m-i),i,0,m)/m!,m,1,n), n > 0. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Sep 14 2010

a(n) ~ exp(exp(p*r)/p + exp(r) - 1 - 1/p - n) * (n/r)^(n + 1/2) / sqrt((1 + p*r)*exp(p*r) + (1 + r)*exp(r)), where r = LambertW(p*n)/p - 1/(1 + p/LambertW(p*n) + n^(1 - 1/p) * (1 + LambertW(p*n)) * (p/LambertW(p*n))^(2 - 1/p)) for p=4. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 03 2022

a(n) ~ (4*n/LambertW(4*n))^n * exp(n/LambertW(4*n) + (4*n/LambertW(4*n))^(1/4) - n - 5/4) / sqrt(1 + LambertW(4*n)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 10 2022
