Table of n, a(n) for n=0..22.

Formula

a(0) = a(1) = 1; a(n) = 3 * a(n-1) + Sum_{i=0..n-1} Sum_{j=0..n-i-1} a(i) * a(j) * a(n-i-j-1).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n-1,k-1) * binomial(3*k,k) * 3^(n-k) / (2*k+1).

a(n) = 3^(n-1)*F([4/3, 5/3, 1-n], [2, 5/2], -(3/2)^2), where F is the generalized hypergeometric function. - Stefano Spezia, Nov 21 2021

a(n) ~ 3^(n - 1/2) * 13^(n + 1/2) / (sqrt(Pi) * n^(3/2) * 2^(2*n + 2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 25 2021

Mathematica

nmax = 22; A[_] = 0; Do[A[x_] = 1 + x A[x]^3/(1 - 3 x) + O[x]^(nmax + 1) // Normal, nmax + 1]; CoefficientList[A[x], x]
a[0] = a[1] = 1; a[n_] := a[n] = 3 a[n - 1] + Sum[Sum[a[i] a[j] a[n - i - j - 1], {j, 0, n - i - 1}], {i, 0, n - 1}]; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 22}]
