Is there a finite expression for the terms of this sequence?
a(n) is divisible by 10 for n>0 (conjecture).

FORMULA
G.f.: 1/(3 - 2*q/(1 - 2*q*(q^2-1)/(3 - 2*q^5/(1 - 2*q^3*(q^4-1)/(3 - 2*q^9/(1 - 2*q^5*(q^6-1)/(3 - 2*q^13/(1 - 2*q^7*(q^8-1)/(3 - ...))))))))) where q = 1/(1-x), a continued fraction due to a partial elliptic theta function identity.
G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} 2^n/3^(n+1) * (1-x)^n * Product_{k=1..n} (3*(1-x)^(4*k-3) - 2) / (3*(1-x)^(4*k-1) - 2), due to a q-series identity.
a(n) = Sum_{k>=0} 2^k * binomial(k^2 + n-1, n) / 3^(k+1).
a(n) ~ 2^(2*n + 1/2 - log(3/2)/8) * 3^(log(3/2)/8 - 1) * n^n / (exp(n) * (log(3/2))^(2*n + 1)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 21 2018
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + 10*x + 370*x^2 + 22570*x^3 + 1924270*x^4 + 210821290*x^5 + 28223418010*x^6 + 4464779024650*x^7 + 814901395935550*x^8 + ...
such that
A(x) = 1/3 + 2/(1-x)/3^2 + 2^2/(1-x)^4/3^3 + 2^3/(1-x)^9/3^4 + 2^4/(1-x)^16/3^5 + 2^5/(1-x)^25/3^6 + 2^6/(1-x)^36/3^7 + 2^7/(1-x)^49/3^8 + 2^8/(1-x)^64/3^9 + ...
