FORMULA

E.g.f. f(x) = Sum_{n >= 0} a(2 * n) * x^n/(2 * n)! satisfies differential equation 6 * x^2 * ( - x^2 - 2 * x + 2) * diff(f(x), x, x) - (x^5 + 6 * x^4 + 6 * x^3 - 32 * x + 8) * diff(f(x), x) + x/6 * ( - x^2 - 2 * x + 2)^2 * f(x) = 0.

Recurrence: a(2 * n) = (2 * n)!/n! * v(n) where 48 * v(n) + ( - 72 * n^2 + 24 * n + 48) * v(n - 1) + (72 * n^3 - 432 * n^2 + 788 * n - 428) * v(n - 2) + (36 * n^4 - 324 * n^3 + 1052 * n^2 - 1428 * n + 664) * v(n - 3) + (36 * n^4 - 360 * n^3 + 1260 * n^2 - 1800 * n + 864) * v(n - 4) + (6 * n^5 - 94 * n^4 + 550 * n^3 - 1490 * n^2 + 1844 * n - 816) * v(n - 5) + ( - n^5 + 15 * n^4 - 85 * n^3 + 225 * n^2 - 274 * n + 120) * v(n - 6) = 0.

$\dsum\limits_{a_{2}=0}^{2n}\dsum\limits_{c=0}^{\min \{\lfloor (3n-a_{2})/3\rfloor ,\lfloor (2n-a_{2})/2\rfloor \}}\dsum\limits_{b=0}^{\min \{\lfloor (3n-a_{2}-3c)/2\rfloor ,\lfloor (2n-a_{2}-2c)/2\rfloor \}}\frac{% (-1)^{a_{2}+b}(2n)!(2\allowbreak (3n-a_{2}-2b-3c))!}{2^{(\allowbreak 5n-a_{2}-2b-4c)}3^{(2n-a_{2}-2b-c)}\allowbreak (3n-a_{2}-2b-3c)!a_{2}!b!c!(2n-a_{2}-2b-2c)!}$ [From Shanzhen Gao (sgao2(AT)fau.edu), Jun 05 2009]

E.g.f.:  hypergeom([1/6, 5/6],[],12*x/(x^2+8*x+4)^(3/2))*exp(-ln(1/4*x^2+2*x+1)/4 - x/3 + (x^2+8*x+4)^(3/2)/(24*x) - 1/(3*x) - x^2/24 - 1)   - Multiply x^i by (2*i)! to get the generating function. - Mark van Hoeij, Nov 07 2011
