FORMULA
G.f. sqrt(1-4*x^2)/(16*x^4+sqrt(1-4*x^2)*(4*x^3-x)-8*x^2+1),
a(n)=n*sum(k=1..n, (binomial((n-2)/2,(n-k)/2)*2^(n-k-1)*((-1)^(n-k)+1))/k);
Conjecture: n*a(n) +(n-1)*a(n-1) +(-13*n+12)*a(n-2) +(-13*n+25)*a(n-3) +4*(14*n-27) *a(n-4) +4*(14*n-41)*a(n-5) +80*(-n+3)*a(n-6) +80*(-n+4)*a(n-7)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 14 2016
a(n) ~ 5^((n+1)/2). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 17 2023
PROG
(Maxima) a(n):=n*sum((binomial((n-2)/2, (n-k)/2)*2^(n-k-1)*((-1)^(n-k)+1))/k, k, 1, n);
