CONJECTURES. (Start)
_ This sequence consists entirely of integers.
_ a(2*(2^n-1)) is odd; odd numbers occur only at positions {2^(n+1)-2, n>=0}.
_ In the self-convolution square of this sequence (A195442), odd numbers occur only at positions {2^(n+2)-4, n>=0}. (End)

EXAMPLE
O.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + 2*x + 17*x^2 + 268*x^3 + 6218*x^4 + 191092*x^5 +...
This sequence has odd terms at [0,2,6,14,30,62,126,...,2^(n+1)-2,...].
The square of the g.f. yields the g.f. of A195442:
A(x)^2 = 1 + 4*x + 38*x^2 + 604*x^3 + 13797*x^4 + 416168*x^5 +...
where the coefficients in A(x)^2 satisfy:
1 = 1/(1+x)^4 + 4*x/((1+x)^4*(1+2*x)^4) + 38*x^2/((1+x)^4*(1+2*x)^4*(1+3*x)^4) + 604*x^3/((1+x)^4*(1+2*x)^4*(1+3*x)^4*(1+4*x)^4) +...
Further, A195442 has odd terms at [0,4,12,28,60,124,...,2^(n+2)-4,...].
