Comments

Series reversion of x/(1+2x+3x^2). Binomial transform is A107264. Counts colored Motzkin paths. Second binomial transform of 1,0,3,0,18,0,... or 3^n*binomial(n) (A005159) with interpolated zeros.

Hankel transform is 3^binomial(n+1,2). - Paul Barry, Oct 01 2009

Formula

E.g.f.: exp(2*x)*Bessel_I(1, sqrt(3)*2*x)/(sqrt(3)x).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n,2*k)*binomial(k)3^k*2^(n-2k).

G.f.: 1/(1-2x-3x^2/(1-2x-3x^2/(1-2x-3x^2/(1-2x-3x^2/(1-.... (continued fraction). - Paul Barry, Oct 01 2009

D-finite with recurrence: (n+2)*a(n) - 2*(2n+1)*a(n-1) + 8*(1-n)*a(n-2) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 14 2011

a(n) ~ 2*sqrt(9+5*sqrt(3))*(2+2*sqrt(3))^n/(3*sqrt(Pi)*n^(3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 19 2012
