Formula

G.f.: (1-x+x*y)/(1-x^2*y^2) - 4*x^2/(1-x^2*y).

(1, x) - (x, x)/2 - (x, -x)/2 - 4*(x^2, x^2) expressed in the notation of stretched Riordan arrays.

Column k has g.f.: x^k - (x*(-x)^k + x^(k+1))/2 - 4*x^(2*k+2).

T(n, k) = if(n=k, 1, 0) OR if(n=2k+2, -4, 0) OR if(n=k+1, -(1+(-1)^k)/2, 0).

Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, k) = A115634(n).

Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} T(n-k, k) = A115714(n).
