FORMULA

a(n) = C(n)+C(n+1) = ((5*n+4)*(2*n)!)/(n!*(n+2)!)

G.f. A(x) satisfies x^2*A(x)^2+(x-1)A(x)+x+2=0. - Michael Somos, Sep 11 2003

G.f.: (1-x-(1+x)*sqrt(1-4*x))/(2*x^2)=(4+2*x)/(1-x+(1+x)*sqrt(1-4*x)). a(n)*(n+2)*(5*n-1) = a(n-1)*2*(2*n-1)*(5*n+4), n>0. - Michael Somos, Sep 11 2003

a(n) ~ 5*pi^(-1/2)*n^(-3/2)*2^(2*n)*{1 -93/40*n^-1 +625/128*n^-2 -10227/1024*n^-3 +661899/32768*n^-4 ...} - Joe Keane (jgk(AT)jgk.org), Sep 13 2002

G.f.: c(x)*(1+c(x))= (-1 +(1+x)*c(x))/x with the g.f. c(x) of A000108 (Catalan).

(Sage) [catalan_number(i)+catalan_number(i+1) for i in xrange(0, 25)]# [From Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), May 17 2009]

(MAGMA) [((5*n+4)*Factorial(2*n))/(Factorial(n)*Factorial(n+2)): n in [0..30] ];  // Vincenzo Librandi, Aug 19 2011
