COMMENTS
One-fourth the sum of the three terms produced by the division of complex numbers (2*n-3+(2*n-1)*i)/(2*n+1+(2*n+3)*i). For (b+c*i)/(d+e*i) the three terms in parentheses are ((b*d+c*e)+(c*d-b*e)*i/(d^2+e^2). By substituting b=2*n-3, c=2*n-1, d=2*n+1, and e=2*n+3 one gets a(n). - J. M. Bergot, Sep 10 2015

FORMULA
a(n) = A000124(2*n) + A000124(2*n+1) = A069894(n)+1.
a(n+1) - a(n) = 8n+8 = A008590(n+1) (first differences).
a(n+1) - 2*a(n) + a(n-1) = 8 = A010731(n) (second differences).
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3), n>2.
G.f.: (3+2*x+3*x^2) / (1-x)^3.
Sum_{k=n+1..2*n+1} a(k) - Sum_{k=0..n} a(k) = (2*n+2)^3. - Bruno Berselli, Jan 24 2011
E.g.f.: (4x^2 + 8x + 1)*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, Sep 22 2015
a(n)^2 = A222465(n)*A222465(n+1) - 12. - Ezhilarasu Velayutham, Mar 18 2020
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = tanh(Pi/sqrt(2))*Pi/(4*sqrt(2)). - Amiram Eldar, Aug 21 2022
