%N G.f.: sqrt(1+6*x+x^2).

%C G.f. = square root of weight enumerator of [4,3,2] even weight code.

%C a(n) gives the row sums of the coefficient array for the family Gegenbauer_C(n,-1/2,-2x-1). [From _Paul Barry_, Apr 20 2009]

%F a(n)=(-1)^n*sum{k=0..n, C(n+k-2,n-k)*C(2k,k)/(1-2k)}=(-1)^n*sum{k=0..n, C(n+k-2,n-k)*A002420(k)}; [From _Paul Barry_, Apr 20 2009]

%F G.f.: G(0)/2, where G(k)= 1 + 1/( 1 - x*(6+x)*(2*k-1)/(x*(6+x)*(2*k-1) - 2*(k+1)/G(k+1) )); (continued fraction). - _Sergei N. Gladkovskii_, Jul 16 2013

%F D-finite with recurrence: n*a(n) +3*(2*n-3)*a(n-1) +(n-3)*a(n-2)=0. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jan 25 2020
