COMMENTS
The sequence 1, 1, 3, 7, ... with offset 0 is the Riordan transform with the Riordan matrix A053121 (the inverse of the Chebyshev S matrix A049310) of the Catalan sequence A000108. - Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 18 2017

FORMULA
a(n) = sum(i=0..(n-1)/2, binomial(2*n-4*i-2,n-2*i-1)*binomial(n,i))/n, n>0, a(0)=0.
G.f. A(x) = x*C(x^2)*C(x*C(x^2)), where C(x) is g.f. A000108.
G.f. A(x) satisfies A(x)=x*(1/(1-A(x))+A(x)^2-A(x)^3).
a(n) ~ 17^(n+1/2) / (sqrt(15*Pi) * n^(3/2) * 4^(n+1)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 15 2014
Conjecture D-finite with recurrence: 2*n*(2*n+1)*a(n) +(-49*n^2+97*n-36)*a(n-1) +12*(10*n^2-42*n+41)*a(n-2) +4*(49*n-97)*(n-3)*a(n-3) -544*(n-3)*(n-4)*a(n-4)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 25 2020
