FORMULA
G.f.: 1/sqrt(1-12*x^2)+(1-sqrt(1-12*x^2))/(2*x).
a(n) = sum{k=0..floor(n/2), 3^(n-k) * A000108(k) * C(k+1, n-k)}.
D-finite with recurrence: -(n+1)*a(n)+2*(n-1)*a(n-1) +12*(2n-3)*a(n-2) +24(2-n)*a(n-3) + 144*(4-n)*a(n-4)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Dec 14 2011
a(n) ~ 2^(n + 1/2) * 3^(n/2) / sqrt(Pi*n) if n is even and a(n) ~ 2^(n + 1/2) * 3^((n+1)/2) / (sqrt(Pi) * n^(3/2)) if n is odd. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 19 2021
