Seiichi Manyama, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..950
FORMULA
a(n) = (-1)^n + 2 * Sum_{i=0..n-1} Sum_{j=0..n-i-1} a(i) * a(j) * a(n-i-j-1).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^(n-k) * binomial(n+k,n-k) * 2^k * binomial(3*k,k) / (2*k+1).
a(n) = (-1)^n*hypergeom([1/3, 2/3, -n, n + 1], [1/2, 1, 3/2], (3/2)^3). - Peter Luschny, Nov 12 2021
a(n) ~ sqrt(171 + 23*sqrt(57)) * (23 + 3*sqrt(57))^n / (9 * sqrt(Pi) * n^(3/2) * 2^(2*n + 5/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 13 2021
