FORMULA

a(n) ~ 2^(1/2)*pi^(-3/2)*n^(-3/2)*2^(4*n) - Joe Keane (jgk(AT)jgk.org), Jun 21 2002

n^3a(n) = 2(2n-1)(3n^2-3n+1)a(n-1) + (4n-3)(4n-4)(4n-5)a(n-2).

G.f.: 5*hypergeom([1/8, 3/8],[1], (4/5)*((1-16*x)^(1/2)+(1+4*x)^(1/2))*(-(1-16*x)^(1/2)+(1+4*x)^(1/2))^5/(2*(1-16*x)^(1/2)+3*(1+4*x)^(1/2))^4)^2/(2*(1-16*x)^(1/2)+3*(1+4*x)^(1/2))  - Mark van Hoeij,  Oct 29 2011.
