a(n-5) is the number of n-th generation vertices in the tree of sequences with unit increase labeled by 6 (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=3. Example: For n=3 there is only one path EEENNN. - Herbert Kociemba, May 24 2004
Number of standard tableaux of shape (n+3,n-3). - Emeric Deutsch, May 30 2004

FORMULA
Expansion of x^3*C^7, where C = (1-(1-4*x)^(1/2))/(2*x) is the g.f. for the Catalan numbers, A000108. - Philippe Deléham, Feb 03 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>=6, a(n-3)=(-1)^(n-6)*coeff(charpoly(A,x),x^6). - Milan Janjic, Jul 08 2010
a(n) = A214292(2*n-1,n-4) for n > 3. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 12 2012

E.g.f.: (1/6)*x^3*1F1(7/2; 8; 4*x).
a(n) ~ 7*4^n/(sqrt(Pi)*n^(3/2)). (End)
0 = a(n)*(+1456*a(n+1) - 87310*a(n+2) + 132834*a(n+3) - 68068*a(n+4) + 9724*a(n+5)) + a(n+1)*(+8918*a(n+1) - 39623*a(n+2) + 51726*a(n+3) - 299*a(n+4) - 1573*a(n+5)) + a(n+2)*(-24696*a(n+2) - 1512*a(n+3) + 1008*a(n+4)) for all n in Z. - Michael Somos, Jan 22 2017
From Amiram Eldar, Jan 02 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=3} 1/a(n) = 27/14 - 26*Pi/(63*sqrt(3)).
Sum_{n>=3} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 11364*log(phi)/(175*sqrt(5)) - 4583/350, where phi is the golden ratio (A001622). (End)
a(n) = Integral_{x=0..4} x^(n)*W(x)dx, n>=0, where W(x) = sqrt(4/x - 1)*(x^3 - 5*x^2 + 6*x - 1)/(2*Pi). The function W(x) for x->0 tends to -infinity (which is its absolute minimum), and W(4) = 0. W(x) is a signed function on the interval x = (0, 4) where it has two maxima separated by one local minimum. - Karol A. Penson, Jun 17 2024
D-finite with recurrence -(n+4)*(n-3)*a(n) +2*n*(2*n-1)*a(n-1)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 30 2024
