Table of n, a(n) for n=0..27.

Formula

G.f f: f(z)=(1-sqrt(1-4*z*(a(0)-z*a(0)^2+z*a(1)+(k+l)*z^2/(1-z)+k*z^2/(1-z)^2)))/(2*z) (k=1, l=-1).

Conjecture: (n+1)*a(n) +(-7*n+2)*a(n-1) +(19*n-29)*a(n-2) +(-29*n+82)*a(n-3) +4*(5*n-19)*a(n-4) +4*(-n+5)*a(n-5)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Feb 18 2016

Example

a(2)=2*1*0+2-1=1. a(3)=2*1*1+2+0^2+1-1=4. a(4)=2*1*4+2+2*0*1+2-1=11.
