COMMENTS
Permutations on n letters without double falls. A permutation w has a double fall at k if w(k) > w(k+1) > w(k+2) and has an initial fall if w(1) > w(2).
Hankel transform is A055209. - Paul Barry, Jan 12 2009
Increasing colored 1-2 trees of order n with choice of two colors for the right branches of the vertices of outdegree 2 except those vertices on the path from the root to the leftmost leaf. - Wenjin Woan, May 21 2011

FORMULA
E.g.f.: 1/Sum_{i>=0} (x^(3*i)/(3*i)! - x^(3*i+1)/(3*i+1)!). [Corrected g.f. --> e.g.f. by Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 15 2015]
Equivalently, e.g.f.: exp(x/2) * r / sin(r*x + (2/3)*Pi) where r = sqrt(3)/2. This has simple poles at (3*m+1)*x0 where x0 = Pi/sqrt(6.75) = 1.2092 approximately and m is an arbitrary integer. This yields the asymptotic expansion a(n)/n! ~ x0^(-n-1) * Sum((-1)^m * E^(3*m+1) / (3*m+1)^(n+1)) where E = exp(x0/2) = 1.8305+ and m ranges over all integers. - Noam D. Elkies, Nov 15 2001
E.g.f.: sqrt(3)*exp(x/2)/(sqrt(3)*cos(x*sqrt(3)/2) - sin(x*sqrt(3)/2) ); a(n+1) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n, k)*a(k)*b(n-k) where b(n) = number of n-permutations without double falls and without initial falls. - Emanuele Munarini, Feb 28 2003
O.g.f.: A(x) = 1/(1 - x - x^2/(1 - 2*x - 4*x^2/(1 - 3*x - 9*x^2/(1 - ... - n*x - n^2*x^2/(1 - ...))))) (continued fraction). - Paul D. Hanna, Jan 17 2006
a(n) = leftmost column term of M^n*V, where M = an infinite tridiagonal matrix with (1,2,3,...) in the super, sub, and main diagonals and the rest zeros. V = the vector [1,0,0,0,...]. - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 16 2011
E.g.f.: A(x)=1/Q(0); Q(k)=1-x/((3*k+1)-(x^2)*(3*k+1)/((x^2)-3*(3*k+2)*(k+1)/Q(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 25 2011
a(n) ~ n! * exp(Pi/(3*sqrt(3))) * (3*sqrt(3)/(2*Pi))^(n+1). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 28 2013
E.g.f.: T(0)/(1-x), where T(k) = 1 - x^2*(k+1)^2/( x^2*(k+1)^2 - (1-x-x*k)*(1-2*x-x*k)/T(k+1) ); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 17 2013
