COMMENTS
This sequence appears in the Derrida et al. 1992 reference as Z_{N}=:Y_{N}(N+1), N >=0, for alpha =2, beta = 3 (or alpha=3, beta=2). In the Derrida et al. 1993 reference the formula in eq. (39) gives Z_{N}(alpha,beta)/(alpha*beta)^N for N>=1. See also the Liggett reference, proposition 3.19, p. 269, with lambda for alpha and rho for 1-beta.

FORMULA
G.f.: (1+5*x+12*x^2*c(6*x))/((1+3*x)*(1+x)) with the g.f. c(x) for A000108 (Catalan numbers).
a(n)=((-1)^(n+1))*(3^n-2)+6*sum(((-1)^k)*C(n-2-k)*6^(n-2-k)*(3^(k+1)-1),k=0..n-2), with C(n):=A000108(n) (Catalan numbers) and the sum is replaced by 0 for n=0,1. Proof from the g.f. after partial fraction decomposition. [Wolfdieter Lang, May 05 2006]
(1-n)*a(n) +4*(5*n-14)*a(n-1) +3*(31*n-79)*a(n-2) +36*(2*n-5)*a(n-3)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Aug 06 2013
