FORMULA
Define B(x) by B(x^2) = A(x)*A(-x); then B(x) = 1 + x*B(x)^2 + x^2*B(x)^4 is the g.f. of A006605.
Recurrence: 3*n*(3*n+1)*(3*n+2)*(507*n^4 - 3575*n^3 + 8895*n^2 - 8953*n + 3054)*a(n) = - 12*(4017*n^5 - 20319*n^4 + 31895*n^3 - 17595*n^2 + 2338*n + 384)*a(n-1) + 4*(n-2)*(17745*n^6 - 125125*n^5 + 331891*n^4 - 396335*n^3 + 173912*n^2 + 17532*n - 13140)*a(n-2) - 144*(n-3)*(n-2)*(312*n^3 - 988*n^2 + 407*n + 29)*a(n-3) + 144*(n-4)*(n-3)*(n-2)*(507*n^4 - 1547*n^3 + 1212*n^2 + 140*n - 72)*a(n-4). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Dec 21 2013

EXAMPLE
G.f. A(x) = 1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + 2*x^4 + 3*x^5 + 7*x^6 + 11*x^7 +...
A(x)*A(-x) = 1 + x^2 + 3*x^4 + 11*x^6 + 46*x^8 + 207*x^10 + 979*x^12 +...
A(x)^2*A(-x)^2 = 1 + 2*x^2 + 7*x^4 + 28*x^6 + 123*x^8 + 572*x^10 +...
A(x)^4*A(-x)^4 = 1 + 4*x^2 + 18*x^4 + 84*x^6 + 407*x^8 + 2028*x^10 +...
from this we see that if B(x^2) = A(x)*A(-x)
then B(x) = 1 + x*B(x)^2 + x^2*B(x)^4
and A(x) = 1 + x*B(x^2) + x^2*B(x^2)^2.
