%N a(n) = (3*n)!/n!.

%C Also a(n) = (((n)!)^2)*A006480(n). [corrected by _Johannes W. Meijer_, Mar 02 2009]

%C a(n) is the number of ways to partition the set {1,2,...,3n} into n blocks of size 3 and then linearly order the elements within each block. - _Geoffrey Critzer_, Dec 30 2012

%F Integral representation as n-th moment of a positive function on a positive half-axis, in Maple notation: a(n)=int(x^n*BesselK(1/3, 2*sqrt(x/27))/(3*Pi*sqrt(x)), x=0..infinity), n=0, 1, ...

%F A recursive formula: a(n) = (27 * (n - 1)^2 + 27 * (n - 1) + 6) * a(n - 1) with a(0) = 1. An explicit formula following from the recursion equation: a(n) = (3/2)*27^n*GAMMA(n+2/3)*GAMMA(n+1/3)/(Pi*3^(1/2)). - _Thomas Wieder_, Nov 15 2004

%F E.g.f.: (of aerated sequence) 2*cos(arcsin((3*sqrt(3)*x/2)/3))/sqrt(4-27*x^2). - _Paul Barry_, Jul 27 2010

%F E.g.f.: (with interpolated zeros) exp(x^3). - _Geoffrey Critzer_, Dec 30 2012
