Number of standard tableaux of shape (2n-1,n). Example: a(2)=5 because in the top row we can have 123, 124, 125, 134, or 135. - Emeric Deutsch, May 23 2004
Number of peaks in all generalized {(1,2),(1,-1)}-Dyck paths of length 3n.
Positive terms in this sequence are the numbers k such that k and 2k are consecutive terms in a row of Pascal's triangle. 1001 is the only k such that k, 2k, and 3k are consecutive terms in a row of Pascal's triangle. - J. Lowell, Mar 11 2023

FORMULA
G.f.: z*g^2/(1-3*z*g^2), where g=g(z) is given by g=1+z*g^3, g(0)=1, that is, (in Maple command) g := 2*sin(arcsin(3*sqrt(3*z)/2)/3)/sqrt(3*z). - Emeric Deutsch, May 22 2003

a(n) = [x^n] C(x)^n for n >= 1, where C(x) = (1 - sqrt(1 - 4*x))/(2*x) is the generating function for A000108 (Ramanujan). - Peter Bala, Jun 24 2015
From Peter Bala, Nov 04 2015: (Start)
Without the initial term 0, the o.g.f. equals f(x)*g(x)^2, where f(x) is the o.g.f. for A005809 and g(x) is the o.g.f. for A001764. g(x)^2 is the o.g..f for A006013. More generally, f(x)*g(x)^k is the o.g.f. for the sequence binomial(3*n + k,n). Cf. A045721 (k = 1), A004319 (k = 3), A236194 (k = 4), A013698 (k = 5), A165817 (k = -1), A117671 (k = -2). (End)
G.f.: ( 2F1(1/3,2/3;1/2;27*x/4)-1)/3. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 27 2020
O.g.f. without the initial term 0, in the form g(x)=(2*cos(arcsin((3*sqrt(3)*sqrt(x))/2)/3)/sqrt(4-27*x)-1)/(3*x), satisfies the following algebraic equation: 1+(9*x-1)*g(x)+x*(27*x-4)*g(x)^2+x^2*(27*x-4)*g(x)^3=0. - Karol A. Penson, Oct 11 2021
O.g.f. equals f(x)/(1 - 2*f(x)), where f(x) = series reversion (x/(1 + x)^3) = x + 3*x^2 + 12*x^3 + 55*x^4 + 273*x^5 + ... is the o.g.f. of A001764 with the initial term omitted. Cf. A224274. - Peter Bala, Feb 03 2022
Right-hand side of the identities (1/2)*Sum_{k = 0..n} (-1)^(n+k)*C(x*n,n-k)*C((x+2)*n+k-1,k) = C(3*n-1,n-1) and (1/3)*Sum_{k = 0..n} (-1)^k* C(x*n,n-k)*C((x-3)*n+k-1,k) = C(3*n-1,n-1), both valid for n >= 1 and x arbitrary. - Peter Bala, Feb 28 2022

a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..n-1} binomial(2*n+k-1, k) = Sum_{k = 0..n-1} (-1)^(n+k+1)* binomial(3*n, k). - Peter Bala, Jul 21 2024
EXAMPLE

where G(x) = exp(L(x)) satisfies G(x) = 1 + x*G(x)^3, and begins:
exp(L(x)) = 1 + x + 3*x^2 + 12*x^3 + 55*x^4 + 273*x^5 + ... + A001764(n)*x^n + ...
