Table of n, a(n) for n=1..34.

Formula

G.f.: 1/2 - sqrt(-12*x^4+4*x^3+4*x^2-4*x+1)/2. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 25 2015

Recurrence: n*a(n) = 2*(2*n-3)*a(n-1) - 4*(n-3)*a(n-2) - 2*(2*n-9)*a(n-3) + 12*(n-6)*a(n-4). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 25 2015

Mathematica

nmax = 30; aa = ConstantArray[0, nmax]; aa[[1]] = 1; aa[[2]] = 0; aa[[3]] = -1; aa[[4]] = 1; Do[aa[[n]] = Sum[aa[[k]]*aa[[n-k]], {k, 1, n-1}], {n, 5, nmax}]; aa (* Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 25 2015 *)
