FORMULA
From Paul Curtz, Nov 07 2008: (Start)
a(n) = 16*A016754(n).
a(n+2) = A061042(2n+1), from Brackett spectrum of hydrogen. (End)
G.f.: -16*(1 + 6*x + x^2)/(x-1)^3. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 14 2016
From Amiram Eldar, Apr 25 2023: (Start)
a(n) = A017113(n)^2.
a(n) = 2^2*A016826(n).
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = Pi^2/128.
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = G/16, where G is Catalan's constant (A006752). (End)
