%F a(n) = exp(-3^n)*Sum_{k>=0} (3^k*k)^n/k!.

%F a(n) = [x^n/n! ] Bell(x)^(3^n) where Bell(x) = exp(exp(x) - 1) is the e.g.f. of the Bell numbers.

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} S2(n,k)*3^(n*k), where S2(n,k) = A008277(n,k) are the Stirling numbers of the second kind.

%F G.f.: A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} 3^(n^2)*x^n/[Product_{k=1..n} (1-k*3^n*x)].
