FORMULA
G.f.: (1-z-sqrt(z^2-18*z+1))/(8*z).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A088617(n,k)*4^k.
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A060693(n,k)*4^(n-k).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} C(n+k, 2k)*4^k*C(k), C(n) given by A000108.
a(0) = 1, a(n) = a(n-1) + 4*Sum_{k=0..n-1} a(k)*a(n-1-k). - Philippe Deléham, Oct 23 2007
Conjecture: (n+1)*a(n) + 9*(-2*n+1)*a(n-1) + (n-2)*a(n-2) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, May 23 2014
G.f.: 1/(1 - 5*x/(1 - 4*x/(1 - 5*x/(1 - 4*x/(1 - 5*x/(1 - ...)))))), a continued fraction. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, May 10 2017
a(n) = hypergeom([-n, n + 1], [2], -4). - Peter Luschny, Jan 08 2018
a(n) ~ 5^(1/4) * phi^(6*n + 3) / (2^(5/2) * sqrt(Pi) * n^(3/2)), where phi = A001622 is the golden ratio. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 21 2021
