sin(arcsin(2x)/2) = x + 3x^3/3! + 105x^5/5! + 10395x^7/7! + ...
E.g.f.: cosh(x^2/2). - Paul Barry, Sep 28 2010
a(n) = 4^n*Gamma(2*n+1/2) / Gamma(1/2). - Peter Luschny, Jul 05 2011
Hypergeom. recurrence: a(n) -(4*n-1)*(4*n-3)*a(n-1)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Sep 21 2012
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 1 + (1/2) * sqrt(e*Pi/2) * erf(1/sqrt(2)) - (1/2) * sqrt(Pi/(2*e)) * erfi(1/sqrt(2)), where erf is the error function and erfi is the imaginary error function. - Amiram Eldar, Jan 08 2023
