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.

MAPLE

F := (t^2-1)*(6*t+t^2+1)^(1/2)/(3*t^3+13*t^2+t-1); G := t/((t+1)^2*(6*t+t^2+1));

Ginv := RootOf(numer(G-x), t); series(eval(F, t=Ginv), x=0, 20);
