Formula

a(n) = 2*a(n-1)+(9^(n-1)-1)*a(n-2), (Goldman + Rota, 1969). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 21 2013

a(n) ~ c * 9^(n^2/4), where c = EllipticTheta[3,0,1/9]/QPochhammer[1/9,1/9] = 1.3946866902389... if n is even and c = EllipticTheta[2,0,1/9]/QPochhammer[1/9,1/9] = 1.333574200539... if n is odd. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 21 2013
