Formula

E.g.f.: 1/G(0) where G(k) = 1 - 4*x/(1 + x/(1 - x - (2*k+1)/( 2*k+1 - 4*(k+1)*x/G(k+1)))); (continued fraction, 3rd kind, 4-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jul 28 2012

From Benedict W. J. Irwin, May 19 2016: (Start)

E.g.f.: sqrt(1+2*x)/(1-2*x)^2.

a(n) = (-1)^(n+1)*2^(n-1)*(n-3/2)!*2F1(2,-n;(3/2)-n;-1)/sqrt(Pi).

(End)

D-finite with recurrence a(n) -5*a(n-1) -2*(2*n-1)*(n-1)*a(n-2)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Feb 08 2021

Example

The fractions are 1, 5/2, 31/4, 255/8, 2577/16, 31245/32, 439695/64, ...
