FORMULA
G.f.: 1/2*(1/sqrt(1-2*sqrt(x)-x-2*x*sqrt(x)+x^2) + 1/sqrt(1+2*sqrt(x)-x+2*x*sqrt(x)+x^2)).
Recurrence: (n-2)*n*(2*n - 1)*(48*n^2 - 192*n + 169)*a(n) = (576*n^5 - 4032*n^4 + 10212*n^3 - 11414*n^2 + 5457*n - 849)*a(n-1) + 5*(2*n - 3)*(48*n^4 - 288*n^3 + 565*n^2 - 399*n + 64)*a(n-2) + (576*n^5 - 4608*n^4 + 13668*n^3 - 18286*n^2 + 10521*n - 1896)*a(n-3) - (n-3)*(n-1)*(2*n - 5)*(48*n^2 - 96*n + 25)*a(n-4). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 02 2014
a(n) ~ phi^(4*n + 2) / (2^(3/2) * 5^(1/4) * sqrt(Pi*n)), where phi = A001622 = (1+sqrt(5))/2 is the golden ratio. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 02 2014, simplified Jan 13 2019
Conjecture: a(n) = hypergeom([-n,-n,n+1,n+1], [1/2,1/2,1], 1/16). - Velin Yanev, Oct 31 2019
a(n) = A051286(2*n). - Mark van Hoeij, Sep 05 2022
