FORMULA
D-finite with recurrence: n*a(n) +2*(-2*n+19)*a(n-1)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 17 2020
From Amiram Eldar, Mar 25 2022: (Start)
a(n) = (-4)^n*binomial(17/2, n).
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 49600/51051 - 38*Pi/(3^11*sqrt(3)).
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = 1542987607648/1495634765625 - 76*log(phi)/(5^10*sqrt(5)), where phi is the golden ratio (A001622). (End)
