G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..385
FORMULA
O.g.f.: A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} n! * 3^n*x^n / Product_{k=0..n} (1+k*x).
O.g.f.: A(x) = 1/(1 - 3*x/(1-2*x/(1 - 6*x/(1-4*x/(1 - 9*x/(1-6*x/(1 - 12*x/(1-8*x/(1 - 15*x/(1-10*x/(1 - ...)))))))))), a continued fraction.
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^(n-k) * 3^k * Stirling2(n,k) * k!.
a(n) = 3*A050351(n) for n>0.
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A123125(n,k)*3^k*2^(n-k). - Philippe Deléham, Nov 30 2011
a(n) ~ n! / (2*log(3/2)^(n+1)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 13 2013
a(n) = log(3/2) * Integral_{x = 0..oo} (ceiling(x))^n * (3/2)^(-x) dx. - Peter Bala, Feb 06 2015
a(n) = 1 + 2 * Sum_{k=0..n-1} binomial(n,k) * a(k). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jun 08 2020
From Seiichi Manyama, Nov 15 2023: (Start)
a(0) = 1; a(n) = -3*Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^k * binomial(n,k) * a(n-k).
a(0) = 1; a(n) = 3*a(n-1) + 2*Sum_{k=1..n-1} binomial(n-1,k) * a(n-k). (End)
a(n) = (3/2)*A004123(n+1) - (1/2)*0^n. - Seiichi Manyama, Dec 21 2023
EXAMPLE
E.g.f.: E(x) = 1 + 3*x + 15*x^2/2! + 111*x^3/3! + 1095*x^4/4! + 13503*x^5/5! + ...
O.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + 3*x + 15*x^2 + 111*x^3 + 1095*x^4 + 13503*x^5 + ...
where A(x) = 1 + 3*x/(1+x) + 2!*3^2*x^2/((1+x)*(1+2*x)) + 3!*3^3*x^3/((1+x)*(1+2*x)*(1+3*x)) + 4!*3^4*x^4/((1+x)*(1+2*x)*(1+3*x)*(1+4*x)) + ...
