FORMULA

(n+2)(n-3)a(n) = 2n(n-1)a(n-1)+3(n-1)(n-2)a(n-2), a(2)=0, a(3)=1. - Michael Somos, Feb 02, 2002

G.f.: (x^2+x-1 +(x^2-3*x+1)*sqrt((1+x)/(1-3*x)))/(2*x^2).

E.g.f.: exp(x)(Bessel_I(2,2x)+Bessel_I(3,2x)); a(n)=sum{k=0..n, C(n,k)C(n,floor(n/2)-1)}; - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Dec 28 2006

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=polcoeff((x^2+x-1 +(x^2-3*x+1)*sqrt((1+x)/(1-3*x)+x^3*O(x^n)))/(2*x^2), n)
