COMMENTS
Hankel transform is A157005. Image of A000984 under Riordan array (1,x(1-x^2)).
Diagonal of rational function 1/(1 - x - y + x^3*y^2). - Seiichi Manyama, Mar 23 2023
LINKS

FORMULA
G.f.: 1/sqrt(1 - 4*x*(1 - x^2)).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^((n-k)/2)*(1+(-1)^(n-k))*C(k,floor((n-k)/2)) *A000984(k)/2.
G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} (2*n)!/n!^2 * x^(2*n) * (1-x)^n / (1-2*x)^(2*n+1). - Paul D. Hanna, Sep 21 2013
D-finite with recurrence: n*a(n) = 2*(2*n-1)*a(n-1) - 2*(2*n-3)*a(n-3). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 13 2014
a(n) ~ (1/r)^n / (sqrt(Pi*n) * sqrt(3-8*r)), where r = 0.2695944364054... is the root of the equation 4*r*(1-r^2)=1. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 13 2014
0 = a(n)*(16*a(n+1) - 32*a(n+3) + 10*a(n+4)) + a(n+1)*(-2*a(n+3)) + a(n+2)*(16*a(n+3) - 6*a(n+4)) + a(n+3)*(-2*a(n+3) + a(n+4)) for all n in Z. - Michael Somos, Sep 03 2016

G.f. = 1 + 2*x + 6*x^2 + 18*x^3 + 58*x^4 + 192*x^5 + 650*x^6 + 2232*x^7 + ...
