%H G. C. Greubel, <a href="/A246434/b246434.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000</a>

%F G.f.: x*(3*x*C(x)-1)/((1-2*x*C(x))*(1-x*C(x))^2), where C(x) is the g.f. of A000108.

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} k*(-1)^k*binomial(n-1, k-1)*binomial(3*n-k-1, n-k))/n.

%F a(n) = (2^(2*n-1)*(n-3)*(n-1/2)!)/(sqrt(Pi)*(n+1)!). - _Peter Luschny_, Nov 14 2014

%F D-finite with recurrence (for n > 4): (n-4)*(n+1)*a(n) = 2*(n-3)*(2*n-1)*a(n-1). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Nov 14 2014

%F G.f.: x^4* 2F1(2,9/2;6;4*x) -x -x^2. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jan 25 2020

%F From _Peter Bala_, Feb 13 2024: (Start)

%F a(n) = 2*binomial(2*n-1, n+1) - binomial(2*n-1, n) = binomial(2*n-1, n+1) - Catalan(n).

%F a(n) is odd iff n = 2^k for k >= 0. (End)
