%H G. C. Greubel, <a href="/A115246/b115246.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000</a>

%F a(n) = binomial(3n, n) - 3*binomial(2n, n) + 3.

%F From _G. C. Greubel_, Feb 08 2016: (Start)

%F E.g.f.: 3*exp(x) - 3*exp(2*x)*BesselI_{0}(2*x) + Hypergeometric2F2[1/3,2/3; 1/2,1; 27*x/4].

%F G.f.: (1/((x-1)sqrt(a*b)))*[3*sqrt(a)*(1-x) - 3*sqrt(a*b) - 2*(1-x)*sqrt(b)*cos(c/3)], where a = 4-27*x, b = 1-4*x, c = arcsin(3*sqrt(3*x)/2). (End)
