G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..730
FORMULA
Let b(n) = a(2*n - 2) / a(2*n + 1). Then b(-n) = b(n), 0 = b(n+1) * (b(n+1) + 2*b(n+2)) + b(n) * (2*b(n+1) - 5*b(n+2)) for all n in Z.
a(n-1) + a(n-2) = A196265(n) if n>1.
E.g.f. A(x) =: y satisfies 0 = y * 3 + y' * 2*x - y''.
0 = a(n)*(2*a(n+1) - a(n+3)) + a(n+1)*(a(n+2)) for all n in Z. - Michael Somos, Jan 24 2014
Let b(n) = a(n - 2) / a(n + 1). Then b(-n) = (-1)^n * b(n), 0 = b(n) * (b(n+1) - 4*b(n+3)) + b(n+2) * (2*b(n+1) + b(n+3)) for all n in Z. - Michael Somos, Sep 13 2014
