FORMULA
G.f.: x^5*C(x)^12 with C(x) g.f. of A000108(Catalan).
Let A be the Toeplitz matrix of order n defined by: A[i,i-1]=-1, A[i,j]=Catalan(j-i), (i<=j), and A[i,j]=0, otherwise. Then, for n>=11, a(n-6)=(-1)^(n-11)*coeff(charpoly(A,x),x^11). - Milan Janjic, Jul 08 2010
a(n) = A214292(2*n,n-6) for n > 5. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 12 2012

O.g.f.: z^5 * 4^6/(1+sqrt(1-4*z))^12.
Recurrence: (-4*(n-5)^2-58*n+80)*a(n+1)-(-n^2-6*n+27)*a(n+2)=0, a(0),a(1),a(2),a(3),a(4)=0,a(5)=1,a(6)=12, n>=5.
Asymptotics: (-903+24*n)*4^n*sqrt(1/n)/(sqrt(Pi)*n^2).
Integral representation as n-th moment of a signed function W(x) on x=(0,4),in Maple notation: a(n+5)=int(x^n*W(x),x=0..4),n=0,1,..., where W(x)=(256/231)*sqrt(4-x)*JacobiP(5, 1/2, 1/2, (1/2)*x-1)*x^(11/2)/Pi and JacobiP are Jacobi polynomials. Note that W(0)=W(4)=0. (End).

E.g.f.: 6*exp(2*x)*BesselI(6,2*x)/x.
a(n) ~ 3*2^(2*n+3)/(sqrt(Pi)*n^(3/2)). (End)

Sum_{n>=5} 1/a(n) = 88699/15120 - 71*Pi/(27*sqrt(3)).
Sum_{n>=5} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 102638*log(phi)/(75*sqrt(5)) - 22194839/75600, where phi is the golden ratio (A001622). (End)
