FORMULA
G.f.: 4/(1+sqrt(1-12*x))^2.
a(n) = 3^n * A000108(n+1).
(n+2)*a(n) -6*(2*n+1)*a(n-1)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 15 2011
O.g.f. A(x) = 1/x*series reversion( x/(1 + 3*x)^2 ). 1 + x*A'(x)/A(x) = 1/sqrt(1 - 12*x) is the o.g.f. for A098658. - Peter Bala, Jul 17 2015
From Amiram Eldar, May 15 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 87/121 + 648*arcsin(1/(2*sqrt(3)))/(121*sqrt(11)).
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = 93/169 + 648*arcsinh(1/(2*sqrt(3)))/(169*sqrt(13)). (End)
