Formula

E.g.f.: -Pi*(BesselY(4, 2*i)*BesselI(3, 2*sqrt(1-x)) - i*BesselI(4, 2)*BesselY(3, 2*i*sqrt(1-x)))/(1-x)^(3/2). Such e.g.f. computations were the result of an e-mail exchange with Gary Detlefs. After differentiation and setting x=0 one has to use simplifications. See the Abramowitz-Stegun handbook, p. 360, 9.1.16 and p. 375, 9.63. - Wolfdieter Lang, May 19 2010

a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..floor((n-1)/2)} (n-2*k-1)!*binomial(n-k-1,k)* binomial(n-k+2,k+3). Cf. A058798. - Peter Bala, Aug 01 2013

a(n) = (-4*BesselI(3+n,-2)*BesselK(4,2) + BesselI(3+n,-2)*BesselK(5,2) + 4*BesselI(4,2)*BesselK(3+n,2) + BesselI(5,2)*BesselK(3+n,2)) / (BesselI(5,2)*BesselK(4,2) + BesselI(4,2)*BesselK(5,2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 05 2013

a(n) ~ (4*BesselI(4,2) + BesselI(5,2))/(BesselI(5,2)*BesselK(4,2) + BesselI(4,2)*BesselK(5,2)) * sqrt(Pi/2) * n^(n+5/2)/exp(n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 05 2013

a(n) = (n+2)!*hypergeometric([1/2-n/2,1-n/2],[4,-n-2,1-n],4)/6 for n >= 2. - Peter Luschny, Sep 10 2014

a(n) = (n+1)! [x^(n+1)] (2/(1-x))*(K(3,2)*I(2,2*sqrt(1-x))+I(3,2)*K(2,2*sqrt(1-x))), K and I Bessel functions. - Peter Luschny, May 01 2017
