FORMULA

G.f.: (1-3*x+x^2-(1-6*x+7*x^2-2*x^3+x^4)^(1/2))/(2*x).

a(n)=sum(m=1..n+1, (binomial(m,n-m+1)*(sum(i=0..m-1, binomial(m,i)*binomial(2*m-i-2,m-1)))*(-1)^(n-m+1))/m), n>0, a(0)=0. [From Vladimir Kruchinin, May 21 2011]

PROG

(Maxima)

a(n):=if n=0 then 0 else sum((binomial(m, n-m+1)*(sum(binomial(m, i)*binomial(2*m-i-2, m-1), i, 0, m-1))*(-1)^(n-m+1))/m, m, 1, n+1); [From Vladimir Kruchinin, May 21 2011]
