FORMULA
a(n) = A274713(n) / (n*(n+1)/2), where A274713(n) is the number of partitions of a {3*n-1}-set into n nonempty subsets.
a(n) = 1/n! * Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^(n-k) * binomial(n,k) * k^(3*n-1) / (n*(n+1)/2).
a(n) ~ sqrt(2) * 3^(3*n-1) * n^(2*n-7/2) / (exp(2*n) * c^n * (3-c)^(2*n-1) * sqrt(Pi*(1-c))), where c = -LambertW(-3*exp(-3)) = 0.1785606278779211... = -A226750. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 06 2016
