COMMENTS

a(2n-1) is also the sum of the numbers of standard Young tableaux of size 2n+1 and of shapes (k+3,k+2,2^{n-2-k}), 0 <= k <= n-2. - Amitai Regev (amitai.regev(AT)weizmann.ac.il), Mar 10 2010

FORMULA

G.f.: (with offset 0) 3F2( [1, 3/2, 5/2], [3, 4], 16*x) = (1 - 2*x - 2F1( [-1/2, 1/2], [2], 16*x) ) / (4*x^2). - Olivier Gérard, Feb 16 2011

a(n)*(n+2) = A000891(n). - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 08 2011

D-finite with recurrence (n+2)*(n+1)*a(n)-4*(2*n-1)*(2*n+1)*a(n-1)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Mar 03 2013

From Ilya Gutkovskiy, Feb 01 2017: (Start)

E.g.f.: (1/2)*(2F2(1/2,3/2; 2,3; 16*x) - 1).

a(n) ~ 2^(4*n+1)/(Pi*n^3). (End)

From Peter Bala, Feb 22 2023: (Start)

a(n) = Product_{1 <= i <= j <= n-1} (i + j + 3)/(i + j - 1).

a(n) = (2^(n-1)) * Product_{1 <= i <= j <= n-1} (i + j + 3)/(i + j) for n >= 1.

Cf. A003645. (End)
