FORMULA
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x*B(x)^4 where B(x) is the g.f. of A137955.
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} C(4*(n-k),k)/(n-k) * C(2*k,n-k-1) for n>0 with a(0)=1. - Paul D. Hanna, Jun 16 2009
a(n) ~ sqrt(4*s*(1-s)*(2-3*s) / ((28*s - 16)*Pi)) / (n^(3/2) * r^n), where r = 0.1569043698639381952962655091205241634381480571697... and s = 1.683635070625292013962854364673077567156937629734... are real roots of the system of equations s = 1 + r*(1 + r*s^2)^4, 8 * r^2 * s * (1 + r*s^2)^3 = 1. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 22 2017
