Seiichi Manyama, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000 (terms 0..100 from Vincenzo Librandi)

FORMULA

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(3*k,k)*(-1)^(n-k)/(2*k+1).

Recurrence: 2*(2*n^2+9*n+10)*a(n+2)-(23*n^2+63*n+40)*a(n+1)-3*(9*n^2+27*n+20)*a(n)=0.

G.f.: 2*sin((1/3)*arcsin(3*sqrt(3*x)/2))/((1+x)*sqrt(3*x)).

a(n) ~ 3^(3*n+3+1/2)/(31*sqrt(Pi)*n^(3/2)*2^(2*n+2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 06 2013

G.f. A(x) satisfies: A(x) = 1 / (1 + x) + x * (1 + x)^2 * A(x)^3. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jul 25 2021
