Third column of the Riordan array A116382.
Apart from its root term -1: central terms of the triangle in A051631: a(n) = A051631(n+1, [(n+1)/2]). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 13 2011

FORMULA
E.g.f.: (d/dx)(Bessel_I(3,2x),x) + 2*Bessel_I(3,2x).
a(n) = C(n+1,floor((n-2)/2))*(1+(-1)^n)/2 + C(n,floor((n-3)/2))*(1-(-1)^n).
Conjecture: (n+4)*a(n) -2*a(n-1) +(-7*n-8)*a(n-2) +6*a(n-3) +12*(n-2)*a(n-4)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 13 2014
G.f.: (-1 - x + x^2 + B(x) - 3*x^2*B(x))/x^3, where B(x) is the g.f. of A001405. - Gennady Eremin, Oct 09 2023
