FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A086810(n,k)*8^k .
G.f.: (1+x-sqrt(1-34*x+x^2))/18. - Emeric Deutsch, Nov 19 2007
a(n) = - a(n-1) + 9 * Sum_{k=1..n-1} a(k) * a(n-k) if n>1. - Michael Somos, Jul 23 2011
Recurrence: n*a(n) = 17*(2*n-3)*a(n-1) - (n-3)*a(n-2). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 20 2013
a(n) ~ sqrt(102*sqrt(2)-144) * (17+12*sqrt(2))^n/(18*sqrt(Pi)*n^(3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 20 2013
0 = +a(n)*(+a(n+1) - 85*a(n+2) + 4*a(n+3)) + a(n+1)*(+17*a(n+1) + 1154*a(n+2) - 85*a(n+3)) + a(n+2)*(+17*a(n+2) + a(n+3)) for all n>0. - Michael Somos, Aug 30 2014
G.f.: x/(1 - 8*x/(1 - 9*x/(1 - 8*x/(1 - 9*x/(1 - 8*x/(1 - ...)))))), a continued fraction. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Apr 21 2017
