FORMULA
a(0) = 1; a(n) = -(-1)^n * a(n-1) + Sum_{k=0..n-1} a(k) * a(n-k-1).
a(n) ~ c * 3^(3*n/4) * (1 + sqrt(3))^n / (sqrt(2*Pi) * n^(3/2) * 2^(n/2)), where c = 3^(1/4) if n is even and c = (1 + sqrt(3))/sqrt(2) if n is odd. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 14 2021

G.f.: A(-x) = 1/A(x).
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x*(1+A(x)^3)/A(x). (End)
a(n) = (-1)^(n-1) * (1/n) * Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) * binomial(2*n-3*k-2,n-1) for n > 0. - Seiichi Manyama, Apr 11 2024
