G.f. (with a(0)=0) is series reversion of x - 3*x^2 + 3*x^3.
The Hankel transform of a(n) is A005130(n) * 3^binomial(n,2).

FORMULA
From Wolfdieter Lang: (Start)
G.f.: (4 - (1-9*x)^(1/3))/3.
a(n) = 3^(n-1) * 2 * A034000(n-1)/n!, n >= 2.
a(n) = 3 * A034164(n-2), n >= 2. (End)
D-finite with recurrence n*a(n) +3*(4-3*n)*a(n-1) = 0, n >= 2. - R. J. Mathar, Oct 29 2012
For n>0, a(n) = 9^(n-1) * Gamma(n-1/3) / (n * Gamma(2/3) * Gamma(n)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 09 2014
For n > 0, a(n) = 3^(2*n-1)*(-1)^(n+1)*binomial(1/3, n). - Peter Bala, Mar 01 2022
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 37/16 + 3*sqrt(3)*Pi/64 - 9*log(3)/64. - Amiram Eldar, Dec 02 2022
For n >= 1, a(n) = Integral_{x = 0..9} x^n * w(x) dx, where w(x) = 1/(2*sqrt(3)*Pi) * x^(2/3)*(9 - x)^(1/3)/x^2. - Peter Bala, Oct 14 2024
