FORMULA
E.g.f.: -3*x^3/(-1+x).
Recurrence: {a(0)=0, a(1)=0, a(2)=0, a(3)=18, (-1-n)*a(n)+a(n+1)=0}
a(n) = 3*n!, n>2.
E.g.f.: G(0)*3*x^3 where G(k) = 1 + x/(1 - x/(x + 1/G(k+1))); (continued fraction, 3rd kind, 3-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jul 28 2012
MAPLE
spec := [S, {S=Prod(Z, Z, Sequence(Z), Union(Z, Z, Z))}, labeled]: seq(combstruct[count](spec, size=n), n=0..20);
