Table of n, a(n) for n=0..31.

FORMULA

G.f.: z^2*A^2/(1-z*A), where A=(1+2*z+sqrt(1-4*z+4*z^2-4*z^4)-sqrt(2)*sqrt(1-4*z^2-2*z^4+(2*z+1)*sqrt(1-4*z+4*z^2-4*z^4)))/(4*z^2).

MATHEMATICA

a = (2*z + Sqrt[-4*z^4 + 4*z^2 - 4*z + 1] - Sqrt[2]*Sqrt[-2*z^4 - 4*z^2 + (2*z + 1)*Sqrt[-4*z^4 + 4*z^2 - 4*z + 1] + 1] + 1)/(4*z^2); gf = z^2*a^2/(1 - z*a); CoefficientList[Series[gf, {z, 0, 31}], z](* Jean-François Alcover, Dec 21 2012, from g.f.*)
