FORMULA
a(n) = (binomial(2*n,n)/(n+1))*(n+2) - 1. - Zerinvary Lajos, Jun 25 2006
G.f.: (1/x)*(1/2 + (6*x-1)/(2*sqrt(1-4*x))-x/(1-x)). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Aug 18 2010
D-finite with recurrence: (n+1)*a(n) + 4*(-3*n+1)*a(n-1) + 5*(9*n-13)*a(n-2) + 2*(-29*n+72)*a(n-3) + 12*(2*n-7)*a(n-4) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 11 2019
