FORMULA
a(n) = 20*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-2) + 4*a(n-3) - a(n-4) with a(0)=1, a(1)=1, a(2)=1 and a(3)=1.
a(n+3) = Sum_{k=0..n} A013609(n+3*k,4*k).
G.f.: (1-19*x-13*x^2-17*x^3)/(1-20*x+6*x^2-4*x^3+x^4).
MAPLE
nmax:=18: a(0):=1: a(1):=1: a(2):=1: a(3):=1: for n from 4 to nmax do a(n) := 20*a(n-1)-6*a(n-2)+4*a(n-3)-a(n-4) od: seq(a(n), n=0..nmax);
