%F D-finite with recurrence: n*a(n) = 2*(4*n-3)*a(n-1). - _R. J. Mathar_, Mar 14 2014

%F From _Karol A. Penson_, Dec 19 2015: (Start)

%F a(n) = (-8)^n*binomial(-1/4,n).

%F E.g.f.: is the hypergeometric function of type 1F1, in Maple notation hypergeom([1/4], [1], 8*x).

%F Representation as n-th moment of a positive function on (0, 8): a(n)=int(x^n*(sqrt(2)/(16*Pi*(x/8)^(3/4)*(1-x/8)^(1/4))), x=0..8), n=0, 1, ... . This function is the solution of the Hausdorff moment problem on (0, 8) with moments equal to a(n). As a consequence this representation is unique. (End)
