FORMULA

G.f.: z^5*M^6, where M=1+z*M+z^2*M^2 is the g.f. for the Motzkin numbers (A001006). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Aug 13 2004

a(n) = (sqrt(-3)/81)*((-1)^n*n*(4*n^3-15*n^2-55*n+102)/(n+7)/(n+3)/(n+2)*hypergeom([1/2, n+7],[3],4/3)-(-1)^n*(4*n^4-17*n^3+23*n^2+ 242*n-288)/(n+7)/(n+3)/(n+2)*hypergeom([1/2, n+6],[3],4/3))  - Mark van Hoeij, Oct 29 2011.

a(n) (n + 11) (n - 1) = (n + 4) (3 n + 9) a(n - 2) + (n + 4) (2 n + 9) a(n - 1). [Simon Plouffe, Feb 09 2012]
