FORMULA
G.f.: A(x)=Sqrt((1-x)/(1+3x)).
G.f.: G(0), where G(k)= 1 + 4*x*(4*k+1)/( (x-1)*(4*k+2) - x*(x-1)*(4*k+2)*(4*k+3)/(x*(4*k+3) + (x-1)*(k+1)/G(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jun 26 2013
From Seiichi Manyama, Feb 03 2023: (Start)
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k * binomial(n-1,n-k) * binomial(2*k,k).
n*a(n) = -2*n*a(n-1) + 3*(n-2)*a(n-2). (End)
