FORMULA

a(n)=4/3*(256/27)^n*(1+c/sqrt(n)+o(n^-1/2)) where c=0.307... More generally, a(n, m)=sum(k=0, n, binomial(m*k, k)*binomial(m*(n-k), n-k)) is asymptotic to 1/2*m/(m-1)*(m^m/(m-1)^(m-1))^n. See A000302, A006256 for cases m=2 and 3. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Jan 26 2003

243*n*(8*n - 17)*(3*n - 1)*(3*n - 4)*(3*n - 2)*(3*n - 5)*a(n) = 72*(3*n - 5)*(3*n - 4)*(6912*n^4 - 33120*n^3 + 58256*n^2 - 47798*n + 15309)*a(n - 1) - 3072*(2*n - 3)*(6912*n^5 - 55008*n^4 + 175696*n^3 - 282180*n^2 + 227825*n - 73710)*a(n - 2) + 262144*(n - 2)*(4*n - 7)*(2*n - 3)*(2*n - 5)*(4*n - 9)*(8*n - 9)*a(n - 3). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Jul 16 2004
