FORMULA

G.f.: sqrt( 1 + 4*x^2 ) - 2*x = exp( asinh( -2*x ) ). [Michael Somos, Jan 14 2011]

The positive sequence 1,2,2,0,2,.... has g.f. 2(1+x)-sqrt(1-4x^2). - Paul Barry, Oct 10 2007

From Vladimir Kruchinin, Jan 16 2011 (Start)

The o.g.f. A(x) satisfies A(x)=x*sqrt(1-4*A(x)),

a(n) = 1/(n*(n+1)) * sum(j=0...n+1, j * 2^(j) * binomial(2*n-j-1,n-1) * binomial(n+1,j) * (-1)^(n-j)). (End)

Conjecture: n*a(n) +(n-1)*a(n-1) +4*(n-3)*a(n-2) +4*(n-4)*a(n-3)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 15 2012

EXAMPLE

1 - 2*x + 2*x^2 - 2*x^4 + 4*x^6 - 10*x^8 + 28*x^10 - 84*x^12 + 264*x^14 + ...
