%N Expansion of 1/((1-x)^2*sqrt(1-4x/(1-x)^4)).

%F G.f.: 1/((1-x)^2-2x/((1-x)^2-x/((1-x)^2-x/((1-x)^2-... (continued fraction);

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} C(n+3k+1,n-k)*A000984(k).

%F D-finite with recurrence: n*a(n) +4*(1-2n)*a(n-1) +6*(n-1)*a(n-2) +2*(3-2n)*a(n-3) +(n-2)*a(n-4)=0. - _R. J. Mathar_, Nov 17 2011

%F G.f.: 1/sqrt(1-8*t+6*t^2-4*t^3+t^4). Remark: using this form of the g.f., it is easy to prove the above recurrence. - _Emanuele Munarini_, Aug 31 2017
