a(n) is the number of labeled rooted unordered trees on 3n+1 nodes such that each node has zero or three children. - Geoffrey Critzer, Mar 14 2013

FORMULA
E.g.f. (with interpolated zeros): -(1/2)/x * ((-3*x + ((-8 + 9*x^3) / x)^(1/2)) * x^2)^(1/3) - 1/((-3*x + ((-8 + 9*x^3) / x)^(1/2)) * x^2)^(1/3) - (1/2)*I*3^(1/2) * (1/x * ((-3*x + ((-8 + 9*x^3) / x)^(1/2)) * x^2)^(1/3) - 2/((-3*x + ((-8 + 9*x^3) / x)^(1/2)) * x^2)^(1/3)).
Recurrence (with interpolated zeros): Define sequence (b(n): n >= 0) by b(3*n + 1) = a(n) for n >= 0 and b(n) = 0 otherwise. Then it satisfies the recurrence (-9*n^4 - 45*n^3 - 63*n^2 - 27*n) * b(n) + (8*n + 28) * b(n+3) = 0 for n >= 0 with b(0) = 0, b(1) = 1, and b(2) = 0. [Corrected by Petros Hadjicostas, Jun 07 2019]
E.g.f. with interpolated zeros satisfies: A(x) = x*(1 + A(x)^3/3!). - Geoffrey Critzer, Mar 14 2013
From Petros Hadjicostas, Jun 07 2019: (Start)
In other words, if A(x) = Sum_{n >= 0} b(n)*x^n/n! = Sum_{m >= 0} a(m)*x^(3*m+1)/(3*m+1)!, then A(x) = x*(1 + A(x)^3/3!).
E.g.f. of (b(n): n >= 1) according to the link for ECS 47 above: Let f(x) = ((-3*x + sqrt((9*x^3 - 8)/x)) * x^2)^(1/3). Then the e.g.f. of (b(n): n >= 1), which includes interpolated zeros, is -f(x)/(2*x) - 1/f(x) - (I*sqrt(3)/2)*(f(x)/x - 2/f(x)). (It is not clear whether it is correct or useful.)
E.g.f. using the solution of a cubic in terms of trigonometric functions: A(x) = (2*sqrt(2)/sqrt(|x|)) * cos( (1/3) * arccos((-3*|x|/2) * sqrt(|x|/2)) - 2*Pi/3 ) for 0 < |x| < 2/9^(1/3). (We have lim_{x -> 0} A(x) = 0.) (End)
Recurrence without interpolated zeros: -3 * (3*n + 4) * (3*n + 1) * (3*n + 2)^2 * a(n) + 4 * (2*n + 3) * a(n + 1) = 0 for n >= 0 with a(0) = 1. - Petros Hadjicostas, Jun 08 2019

E.g.f. (with interpolated zeros): 1*x/1! + 4*x^4/4! + 420*x^7/7! + 201600*x^10/10! + 264264000*x^13/13! + 734557824000*x^16/16! + 3723191087616000*x^19/19! + ... = x + 1/6*x^4 + 1/12*x^7 + 1/18*x^10 + 55/1296*x^13 + 91/2592*x^16 + 119/3888*x^19 + ... - Petros Hadjicostas, Jun 07 2019
