FORMULA
From Paul D. Hanna, Apr 04 2022: (Start)
a(2*n+1) = 6 * 24^n * binomial(3*n+1,n)/(3*n+1) for n >= 0.
G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n satisfies:
(1) (A(x)^2 + A(-x)^2)/2 = 1.
(2) (A(x)^3 - A(-x)^3)/2 = 18*x.
(3) (A(x) - A(-x))/2 = 6*Series_Reversion(x - 24*x^3).
(4) (A(x) + A(-x))/2 = sqrt( (1 + A(x)*A(-x))/2 ).
(5) A(x)*A(-x) = 1 - 72*Series_Reversion(x - 24*x^3)^2.
(6) A(x) = B(x) + sqrt(1 - B(x)^2), where B(x) = 6*Series_Reversion(x - 24*x^3).
(End)
