FORMULA
a(n) ~ Gamma(1/3)^(1/3) * exp(1/36) * n^(1/36) * 3^(3*n^2/2 + 2*n + 11/36) / (A^(1/3) * Pi^(1/6) * 2^(2*n^2 + 2*n + 7/12)), where A = A074962 is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Dec 21 2015
a(n) = Product_{1 <= i <= j <= n} (i + 2*j)/(i + j - 1). Note that Product_{1 <= i <= j <= n} (i + j)/(i + j - 1) = 2^n. - Peter Bala, Feb 19 2023
