Table of n, a(n) for n=0..16.

Formula

G.f. satisfies:

(1) Sum_{n>=0} 3^n * (1+x)^(n^2) / (3 + (1+x)^n)^(n+1).

(2) Sum_{n>=0} ((1+x)^n - 1/3)^n / 3.

Example

G.f.: A(x) = 1 + 15*x + 786*x^2 + 69261*x^3 + 8554530*x^4 + 1359020643*x^5 + 263929299177*x^6 + 60582032629791*x^7 + 16046282916588207*x^8 + ...
such that
A(x) = 1/3  +  (3*(1+x) - 1)/3^2  +  (3*(1+x)^2 - 1)^3/3^3  +  (3*(1+x)^3 - 1)^3/3^4  +  (3*(1+x)^4 - 1)^4/3^5  +  (3*(1+x)^5 - 1)^5/3^6  + ...
Also,
A(x) = 1/4  +  3*(1+x)/(3 + (1+x))^2  +  3^2*(1+x)^4/(3 + (1+x)^2)^3  +  3^3*(1+x)^9/(3 + (1+x)^3)^4  +  3^4*(1+x)^16/(3 + (1+x)^4)^5  +  3^5*(1+x)^25/(3 + (1+x)^5)^6  +  3^6*(1+x)^36/(3 + (1+x)^6)^7  + ...
