COMMENTS
It appears that a(n) = 1 (mod 2) iff n = 2*4^k - 1 for k>=0.
Radius of convergence is 1/4 with A(1/4) = 2*(sqrt(2) - 1).

FORMULA
G.f. A(x) satisfies:
(1) A(x) = (sqrt(1 + 4*C(x)^2) - 1)/(2*x), where C(x) = (1 - sqrt(1 - 4*x))/2.
(2) A(x) = (1/x) * Series_Reversion( sqrt(x^2 + x^4) - (x^2 + x^4) )^2.
a(n) ~ 2^(2*n - 1/2) / (sqrt(Pi) * n^(3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 23 2016
