FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/4)} (n-3*k)^(3*k) * binomial(n-3*k,k).
a(n) ~ exp(exp(9/4)*n^(1/4)/sqrt(2)) * n^(3*n/4) / 2^(3*n/2 + 2) * (1 + 1/(4*sqrt(2)*exp(9/4) * n^(1/4)) + (67/(192*exp(9/2)) - 37*exp(9/2)/16) / sqrt(n) + (497/(768*sqrt(2)*exp(27/4)) - 205*exp(9/4)/(64*sqrt(2))) / n^(3/4) + (10721/3072 + 218831/(368640*exp(9)) + (1369*exp(9))/512)/n), see graph for more minor asymptotic terms. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 20 2023
