COMMENTS
a(n) is also a generalization of Delannoy numbers to 3D; i.e. the number of walks from (0,0,0) to (n,n,n) in a 3D square lattice where each step is in the direction of one of (1,0,0), (0,1,0), (0,0,1) and (1,1,1). - Theodore Kolokolnikov, Jul 04 2010

FORMULA
a(n) = w(n,n,n) where w(i,j,k)=w(i-1,j,k)+w(i,j-1,k)+w(i,j,k-1)+w(i-1,j-1,k-1) and where w(0,0,0)=1 and w(i,j,k)=0 if one of i,j,k is strictly negative. - Theodore Kolokolnikov, Jul 04 2010

a(n) ~ c*d^n/(Pi*n), where d = (3*(292 + 4*sqrt(5))^(2/3) + 132 + 20*(292 + 4*sqrt(5))^(1/3)) / (2*(292 + 4*sqrt(5))^(1/3)) = 29.900786688498085... is the root of the equation -1 + 3*d - 30*d^2 + d^3 = 0 and c = 1/(2*sqrt(((81 - 27*sqrt(5))/2)^(1/3) + 3*((3 + sqrt(5))/2)^(1/3) - 6)) = 0.8959908650405192232... is the root of the equation -1 - 72*c^2 - 1296*c^4 + 1728*c^6 = 0. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 23 2013, updated Jul 07 2016
From Peter Bala, Jan 13 2016: (Start)
a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..n} multinomial(n + 2*k, k, k, k, n - k). Cf. A001850(n) = Sum_{k = 0..n} multinomial(n + k, k, k, n - k).
exp( Sum_{n >= 1} a(n)*x^n/n ) = 1 + x + 4*x^2 + 42*x^3 + 639*x^4 + 11571*x^5 + ... appears to have integer coefficients. (End)
