COMMENT

For n >= 1 a(n) is the size of the conjugacy class in the symmetric group S_(3n) consisting of permutations that their cycle decomposition is a product of n disjoint 3-cycles.

FORMULA

a(n) = (3*n)!/(n!*3^n). Using Stirling's formula in A000142 we have a(n) ~ sqrt(3) * 9^n * (n/e)^(2n). - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), Apr 21 2001

Every third coefficient in the expansion of exp((x^3)/3).

G.f.: hypergeom([1/3, 2/3, 1], [], 9*x).

Recurrence: a(0) = 1, a(n) = (3*n-1)*(3*n-2)*a(n-1) for n >= 1.

MAPLE

spec := [S, {S=Set(Union(Cycle(Z, card=3)))}, labeled]: seq(combstruct[count](spec, size=n), n=0..20);
