%N G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} (2 + x^n)^n * x^n / (1-x)^(n+1).

%C What is limit ( a(n) - 3^n )^(1/n) ?  (Value is near 2.0038 at n=3000.)

%C In general, for g.f.: Sum_{n>=0} (k + x^n)^n * x^n / (1-x)^(n+1), we have a(n)-(k+1)^n ~ n/(4*k+1) * ((1+sqrt(4*k+1))/2)^n, and limit is equal to (1+sqrt(4*k+1))/2. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 02 2014
