%F a(n) = sum(C(3k,k)^2*(-1)^(n-k), k=0..n).

%F Recurrence: 4*(2*n^2+7*n+6)^2 * a(n+2) -(713*n^4+4262*n^3+9509*n^2 +9384*n+3456) * a(n+1) -9*(9*n^2+27*n+20)^2 * a(n) = 0.

%F G.f.: (1+x)^(-1)*F(1/3,1/3,2/3,2/3;1/2,1/2,1;729*x/16), where F(a1,a2,a3,a4;b1,b2,b3;z) is a hypergeometric series.

%F a(n) ~ 3^(6*n+7)/(745*Pi*n*2^(4*n+2)). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Aug 06 2013
