COMMENTS
A133603 is a companion sequence.
FORMULA
A133080 * A000108, where A133080 = an infinite lower triangular matrix and A000108 = the Catalan sequence as a vector.
a(2n) = A048990(n).
a(2n+1) = A005807(2n).
Conjecture: n*(n-1)*(n-3)*(3*n-4)*a(n) -8*(n-1)*(2*n-5)*a(n-1) -4*(n-2)*(3*n-1)*(2*n-5)*(2*n-7)*a(n-2)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 20 2015
EXAMPLE
a(4) = C(4) = 14.
a(5) = 56 = C(5) + C(4) = 42 + 14.
