COMMENTS
a(n-3) is the number of n-th generation vertices in the tree of sequences with unit increase labeled by 4 (cf. Zoran Sunic reference). - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 07 2003
Number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,n) with steps E=(1,0) and N=(0,1) which touch but do not cross the line x-y=2. Example: For n=3 there are the 5 paths EENENN, EENNEN, EENNNE, ENEENN, NEEENN. - Herbert Kociemba, May 24 2004

FORMULA
Integral representation as n-th moment of a function on [0, 4], in Maple notation: a(n)=int(x^n*((1/2)/Pi*x^(3/2)*(x^2-3*x+1)*(4-x)^(1/2)), x=0..4), n=0, 1..., for which offset=0. - Karol A. Penson, Oct 11 2001
Expansion of x^2*C^5, where C = (1-(1-4*x)^(1/2))/(2*x) is g.f. for Catalan numbers (A000108). - Herbert Kociemba, May 02 2004
Let A be the Toeplitz matrix of order n defined by: A[i,i-1]=-1, A[i,j]=Catalan(j-i), (i<=j), and A[i,j]=0, otherwise. Then, for n>=4, a(n-2)=(-1)^(n-4)*coeff(charpoly(A,x),x^4). - Milan Janjic, Jul 08 2010
a(n) = A000108(n+2) - 3*A000108(n+1)+ A000108(n). - David Scambler, May 20 2012
D-finite with recurrence: (n+3)*(n-2)*a(n) = 2*n*(2n-1)*a(n-1). - R. J. Mathar, Jun 27 2012
a(n) = A214292(2*n-1,n-3) for n > 2. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 12 2012

From Amiram Eldar, Jan 02 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=2} 1/a(n) = 14/5 - 38*Pi/(45*sqrt(3)).
Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = 1956*log(phi)/(125*sqrt(5)) - 316/125, where phi is the golden ratio (A001622). (End)
