Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..(n-1)/2} 2^k*binomial(2*k+1,k)*binomial(2*n-2*k-2,n-1))/n, n>0, a(0)=0.

G.f. A(x) = x*C(x)*C(2*x^2*C(x)^2), where C(x) is g.f. A000108.

G.f. A(x) satisfies A(x)= x*(4*A(x)^4+4*A(x)^2+1)/(2*A(x)^2-A(x)+1).

a(n) ~ sqrt(2+3*sqrt(2)) * 2^(3*n-7/4) * ((1+2*sqrt(2))/7)^n / (sqrt(Pi) * n^(3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 15 2014
