COMMENTS

a(n), n>=1, enumerates increasing quintic (5-ary) trees. See a D. Callan comment on A007559 (number of increasing quarterny trees).

Hankel transform is A169619. [From Paul Barry, Dec 03 2009]

a(n) is the product of the positive integers k<=4*n that have k == 1 (modulo 4). - Peter Luschny, Jun 23 2011

a(n)=(-3)^n*sum_{k=0..n} (4/3)^k*s(n+1,n+1-k), where s(n,k) are the Stirling numbers of the first kind, A048994. [From Mircea Merca, MAy 03 2012]

G.f.: 1/T(0) where T(k) =  1 - x*(4*k+1)/(1 - x*(4*k+4)/T(k+1) ); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Mar 19 2013

G.f.: 1 + x/Q(0), where Q(k)= 1 + x + 2*(2*k-1)*x - 4*x*(k+1)/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, May 03 2013

G.f.: G(0)/2, where G(k)= 1 + 1/(1 - x*(4*k+1)/(x*(4*k+1) + 1/G(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jun 04 2013
