COMMENTS
In Narumiya and Shiga on bottom of page 157 the g.f. is given as an integral. On page 158 the square of the g.f. is given as a hypergeometric function. - Michael Somos, Aug 12 2014

FORMULA
a(n) = 4^n/(n!)^2 * Product_{k=0..n-1} (8*k+1)*(8*k+3).
a(n) = 2^(8*n) * GAMMA(n+1/8) * GAMMA(n+3/8) /(GAMMA(1/8)*GAMMA(3/8) *GAMMA(n+1)^2). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 07 2014
a(n) ~ GAMMA(5/8)*GAMMA(7/8) * 2^(8*n-3/2) / (Pi^2 * n^(3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 07 2014
G.f.: F( 1/8, 3/8, 1; x) = 1 / B(3/8, 5/8) * integral_0^1 (u^5 * (1-u)^3 * (1-x*u))^(-1/8) du. - Michael Somos, Aug 12 2014
Convolution square is A008977. - Michael Somos, Aug 12 2014
