Table of n, a(n) for n=0..22.

Formula

G.f f: f(z)=(1-sqrt(1-4*z*(a(0)-z*a(0)^2+z*a(1)+(k+l)*z^2/(1-z)+k*z^2/(1-z)^2)))/(2*z) (k=0, l=-1).

Conjecture: (n+1)*a(n) +2*(-3*n+1)*a(n-1) +(-3*n+11)*a(n-2) +4*(6*n-19)*a(n-3) +16*(-n+4)*a(n-4)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Feb 18 2016

Example

a(2)=2*1*4-1=7. a(3)=2*1*7+4^2-1=29. a(4)=2*1*29+2*4*7-1=113.
