FORMULA

E.g.f.: exp(arctan(x)).

a(n)=n!*sum(if oddp(m+n) then 0 else (-1)^((3*n+m)/2)/(2^m*m!)*sum(2^i*binomial(n-1,i-1)*m!/i!*stirling1(i,m),i,m,n),m,1,n), n>0. [From Vladimir Kruchinin, Aug 05 2010]

E.g.f.: exp(arctan(x))=1+2x/(H(0)-x); H(k)=4k+2+x^2*(4k^2+8k+5)/H(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 15 2011

a(n+1) = a(n) - a(n-1) * A002378(n-2). [Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 27 2012]

MAPLE

a(n):=n!*sum(if oddp(m+n) then 0 else (-1)^((3*n+m)/2)/(2^m*m!)*sum(2^i*binomial(n-1, i-1)*m!/i!*stirling1(i, m), i, m, n), m, 1, n); (for Maxima) [From Vladimir Kruchinin, Aug 05 2010]
