FORMULA
G.f. A(x) = 1/(1 - 7*x/(1 + 7*x - 21*x/(1 + 21*x - 73*x/(1 + 73*x - 273*x/(1 + 273*x - 1057*x/(1 + 1057*x - 4161*x/(1 + ...))))))), a continued fraction.
a(n) = Product_{k=1..n} (1 + 2^k + 2^(2*k)) for n >= 1 with a(0) = 1.
a(n) = 2^(n*(n+1)/2) * Product_{k=1..n} (1/2^k + 1 + 2^k) for n >= 1.
a(n) ~ c * 2^(n*(n+1)) where c = Product_{n>=1} (1 + 1/2^n + 1/4^n) = 2.975905201850451176749639540825805061981174...
