a(n) = (1/3)*s(n+2), where s = A014432.
Also, number of walks within N^2 (the first quadrant of Z^2) starting at (0,0), ending on the vertical axis and consisting of n steps taken from {(-1, -1), (-1, 0), (-1, 1), (0, 1), (1, 1)}. - Manuel Kauers, Nov 18 2008
Also, number of walks within N^3 (the first octant of Z^3) starting at (0,0,0) and consisting of n steps taken from {(-1, -1, 1), (-1, 0, 1), (-1, 1, 1), (0, 0, -1), (1, 1, 0)}. - Manuel Kauers, Nov 18 2008
Reversion of x/(1+x+3x^2). Hankel transform is 3^C(n+1,2) [A047656(n+1)]. - Paul Barry, Sep 07 2009

FORMULA
From Paul Barry, Sep 07 2009: (Start)
G.f.: 1/(1-x-3x^2/(1-x-3x^2/(1-x-3x^2/(1-... (continued fraction);
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n,2k)*3^k*A000108(k). (End)
D-finite with recurrence: (n+2)*a(n) - (2*n+1)*a(n-1) + 11*(1-n)*a(n-2) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 15 2011
a(n) ~ (1+2*sqrt(3))^(n+3/2)/(2*sqrt(Pi)*3^(3/4)*n^(3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 29 2012
G.f. A(x) satisfies: A(x) = 1 + x * (1 + 3*x*A(x)^2) / (1 - x). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jun 30 2020
EXAMPLE
G.f.: 1 + x + 4*x^2 + 10*x^3 + 37*x^4 + 121*x^5 + 451*x^6 + 1639*x^7 + ...
