FORMULA
|
G.f.: 1/(1-4*x)-1/sqrt(1-4*x) = C(x)*2*x/(1-4*x) where C(x) = g.f. for Catalan numbers A000108.
a(n) = sum(k>=1, binomial(2*m-2*k, m-k) * binomial(2*k, k) ).
a(n+1) = 4*a(n) + 2*C(n) where C(n) = Catalan numbers.
Conjecture: n*a(n)+2*(3-4*n)*a(n-1)+8*(2*n-3)*a(n-2)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Apr 01 2012
Recurrence (an alternative): n*a(n) = 2^9*(2*n-9)*a(n-5) + 2^8*(18-5*n)*a(n-4) + 2^6*(10*n-27)*a(n-3) + 2^5*(9-5*n)*a(n-2) + 2*(10*n-9)*a(n-1), n>=5. - Fung Lam, Mar 22 2014
Asymptotics: a(n) ~ 2^(2*n)*(1-1/sqrt(n*Pi)). - Fung Lam, Mar 22 2014
E.g.f.: (exp(2*x) - BesselI(0,2*x))*exp(2*x). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Sep 10 2016
