FORMULA

Product( (3*i-1)/(3*i-2) * Product ( (n+i+j-1)/(2*i+j-1), j=i..n), i=1..n).

a(n) ~ exp(1/36) * GAMMA(1/3)^(4/3) * n^(7/36) * 3^(3*n^2/2 + 11/36) / (A^(1/3) * Pi^(2/3) * 2^(2*n^2 + 7/12)), where A = A074962 = 1.2824271291... is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 01 2015

MAPLE

A006366 := proc(n) local i, j; mul((3*i - 1)*mul((n + i + j - 1)/(2*i + j - 1), j = i .. n)/(3*i - 2), i = 1 .. n) end;

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=prod(i=0, n-1, (3*i+2)*(3*i)!/(n+i)!)
