Number of rooted unlabeled connected triangular maps on a compact closed oriented surface with 2n faces (and thus 3n edges). [Vidal]
Equivalently, the number of pair of permutations (sigma,tau) up to simultaneous conjugacy on a pointed set of size 6*n with sigma^3=tau^2=1, acting transitively and with no fixed point. [Vidal]
Also, the asymptotic expansion of the Airy function Ai'(x)/Ai(x) = -sqrt(x) - 1/(4x) + Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n a(n) (4x)^ (1/2-3n/2). [Praehofer]
Maple 6 gives the wrong asymptotics of Ai'(x)=AiryAi(1,x) as x->oo apart from the 3rd term. Therefore asympt(AiryAi(1,x/4)/AiryAi(x/4),x); reproduces only the value a(1)=1 correctly.

FORMULA
With offset 1, then a(1) = 1 and, for n > 1, a(n) = (6*n-8)*a(n-1) + Sum_{k=1..n-1} a(k)*a(n-k) [Praehofer] [Martin and Kearney].
a(n) = (6/Pi^2)*Integral_{x=0..oo} ((4*x)^(3*n/2)/(Ai(x)^2 + Bi(x)^2)) dt. - Vladimir Reshetnikov, Sep 24 2013
a(n) ~ 3 * 6^n * n! / Pi. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 19 2015
0 = 6*x^2*y' + x*y^2 + (4*x-1)*y + 1, where y(x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n. - Gheorghe Coserea, Apr 02 2017
From Peter Bala, May 21 2017: (Start)
G.f. as an S-fraction: A(x) = 1/(1 - 5*x/(1 - 7*x/(1 - 11*x/(1 - 13*x/(1 - ... - (6*n - 1)*x/(1 - (6*n + 1)*x/(1 - .... See Stokes.
x*A(x) = B(x)/(1 + 2*B(x)), where B(x) = x + 7*x^2 + 84*x^3 + 1463*x^4 + ... is the o.g.f. of A172455.
A(x) = 1/(1 + 2*x - 7*x/(1 - 5*x/(1 - 13*x/(1 - 11*x/(1 - ... - (6*n + 1)*x/(1 - (6*n - 1)*x/(1 - .... (End)
