%F a(n) = Sum_{j=ceiling(n/3)..floor(n/2)} C(n-j,n-2j)*C(j,n-2j)*C(n,j). - Devin Akman and _Ricardo Acuna_, Dec 18 2023

%e For n=3, (x + x*y + y +1/(x*y))^3 = x^3 y^3 + 1/(x^3*y^3) + 3 x^3 y^2 + 3 x^3 y + x^3 + 3 x^2 y^3 + 6 x^2 y^2 + 3 x^2 y + 3/(x^2*y) + 3 x y^3 + 3 x y^2 + 3/(x*y^2) + 3 x y + (3 x)/y + (3 y)/x + 3/(x*y) + 6 x + y^3 + 6 y + 6, so a(3) = 6.
