FORMULA
a(n)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), binomial(n-2k, k)binomial(n-3k, k)2^k}.
D-finite with recurrence: n*a(n) = (2*n-1)*a(n-1) - (n-1)*a(n-2) + 8*(n-2)*a(n-4). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 23 2014
a(n) ~ (1+sqrt(1+8*sqrt(2)))^n / (sqrt(33+10*sqrt(2)-sqrt(265+596*sqrt(2))) * sqrt(Pi*n) * 2^(n-3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 23 2014
