FORMULA
a(n) = [x^n] (1 + x + x^2)^(2^n+1), the coefficient of x^n in (1 + x + x^2)^(2^n+1).
O.g.f.: A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} (1 + 2^n*x + 4^n*x^2) * log(1 + 2^n*x + 4^n*x^2)^n / n!.
EXAMPLE
A(x) = 1 + 3*x + 15*x^2 + 156*x^3 + 4556*x^4 + 417384*x^5 + ...
A(x) = (1 +x +x^2) + (1 +2*x +4*x^2)*log(1 +2*x +4*x^2) + (1 +4*x +16*x^2)*log(1 +4*x +16*x^2)^2/2! + (1 +8*x +64*x^2)*log(1 +8*x +64*x^2)^3/3! + (1 +16*x +256*x^2)*log(1 +16*x +256*x^2)^4/4! + ...
This is a special case of the more general statement:
Sum_{n>=0} m^n * F(q^n*x)^b * log( F(q^n*x) )^n / n! =
Sum_{n>=0} x^n * [y^n] F(y)^(m*q^n + b)
where F(x) = 1+x+x^2, q=2, m=1, b=1.
