How can we prove that? \sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{x^{3n}}{(3n-1)!}=\frac{1}{3}e^{\frac{-x}{2}}x(e^{\frac{3x}{2}}-2\sin(\frac{\pi+3\sqrt{3}x}{6}))

Consider the third root of unity ρ=e2πi3=1+i32. You have
eρz=k=0ρkzkk!=m=0z3m(3m)!+ρm=0z3m+1(3m+1)!+ρ2m=0z3m+2(3m+2)!
since ρ3m=1, ρ3m+1=ρ, ρ3m+2=ρ2. You have something similar for eρ2z. Also consider 1+ρ+ρ2=0. Then a suitable combination of eρkx gives you
n=1x3n1(3n1)!
Using Euler's formula eit=cost+isint then gives you the right hand side.

Consider the function
f(x)=n=1x3n1(3n1)!
Consider this a Maclaurin series for f(x). So we have f(0)=0, f(0)=0 and f(0)=1. Finally, take note that f(x)=f(x). Solve this initial value problem and multiply by x to get your answer.
It looks like it may take some more work to get this into the desired form, however, so I'll continue. The characteristic equation for our problem is s31=0, whose roots are the third roots of unity 1 and 12±32i. This suggests
f(x)=k1ex+k2ex2sin(x32)+k3ex2cos(x32)
=k1ex+ex2[k2sin(x32)+k3cos(x32)]
f(x)=k1ex+ex2[(12k232k3)sin(x32)+(12k3+32k2)cos(x32]
f(x)=k1ex+eπ2[(14k2+34k334k2)sin

This is actually calling for Laplace transform. Set f(x)=n=1x3n(3n1)! then F(s)=0f(x)xesxdx =n=11s3n0u3n1eu(3n1)!du =1s31 Now f(x)x=12πiγiγ+iF(s)exsds where γ>1. The contour can be closed along the half-circle to the left and using the residue-theorem you will get f(x)x=ex23(e2x2+et3x2+2πt3+et3x22πt3) =ex23(e3x2+2cos(3x2+2π3))
