G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000
FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n}(binomial(n-1,n-k)*((binomial(3*k+1,k+1))/(2*k+1))).
G.f.: g(x/(1-x)) where g(x) is the g.f. of A006013.
a(n) ~ 31^(n + 1/2) / (sqrt(Pi) * n^(3/2) * 2^(2*n + 2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 16 2016
a(n) = 2*hypergeometric([5/3, 7/3, 1-n],[5/2, 3], -27/4)) for n>0. - Peter Luschny, Mar 16 2016
Conjecture D-finite with recurrence: 2*(n+1)*(2*n+1)*a(n) +(-39*n^2+8*n+5)*a(n-1) +(66*n-37)*(n-2)*a(n-2) -31*(n-2)*(n-3)*a(n-3)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 07 2016
