FORMULA
| a(n)= A005190(2*n) = A008287(2*n, 3*n).
G.f.: Let Z(x) be a solution of (-1+16*x)*(32*x-27)^2*Z^6+9*(-9+64*x)*(32*x-27)*Z^4+81*(80*x-27)*Z^2+729 = 0, with Z(0)=1. Compute a Puiseux series for Z(x) at x=0, then Z(x) in C[[x^(1/3)]]. Remove all non-integer powers of x. The result is the generating function for A005721. - Mark van Hoeij, Oct 29 2011.
G.f.: F(G^(-1)(x)) where F(t) = (t^2-1)*(6*t+t^2+1)^(1/2)/(3*t^3+13*t^2+t-1)
and G(t) = t/((t+1)^2*(6*t+t^2+1)) - Mark van Hoeij, Oct 30 2011.
