Formula

G.f.: 3 / (2+(1-9*x)^(1/3)).

a(n) = Sum_{m=1..n-1} (m/n) * Sum_{k=1..n-m} binomial(k,n-m-k) * 3^k * (-1)^(n-m-k) * binomial(n+k-1,n-1) + 1. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Feb 08 2011

Conjecture: n*(n-1)*a(n) -(n-1)*(19*n-36)*a(n-1) +9*(11*n^2-51*n+60)*a(n-2) -9*(3*n-7)*(3*n-8)*a(n-3) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 14 2011

a(n) ~ 9^n/(4*Gamma(2/3)*n^(4/3)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 08 2012
