Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} Sum_{j=0..k+1} C(k+1,j)*C(n+k-j,n-k-j)*A000108(k).

a(n+1) = 3*A107264(n-1). - Philippe Deléham, Feb 04 2009

D-finite with recurrence: (n+1)*a(n) + 3*(-2*n+1)*a(n-1) + 3*(-n+2)*a(n-2) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Dec 03 2014

G.f. A(x) satisfies: A(x) = 1 + x * (1 + A(x) + A(x)^2). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jul 01 2020
