FORMULA
G.f. A(x) satisfies:
(1) A(x) = exp( Sum_{n>=1} x^n/n * Sum_{k=0..n} C(n,k)^2 * x^k * A(x)^(3*k) ).
(2) A(x) = (1/x)*Series_Reversion( 2*x^3*(1+x)/(1 - sqrt(1-4*x^2*(1+x)^2)) ).
(3) A(x) = G(x*A(x)) where G(x) = A(x/G(x)) is the g.f. of A104545 (Motzkin paths of length n having no consecutive (1,0) steps).
(4) A(x) = exp( Sum_{n>=1} x^n/n * (1-x*A(x)^3)^(2*n+1)*Sum_{k>=0} C(n+k,k)^2 * x^k * A(x)^(3*k) ).
a(n) = sum(j=0..n/2, binomial(2*j+n,j)*binomial(2*j+n+1,4*j+1)/(n+j+1)). - Vladimir Kruchinin, May 28 2014
a(n) ~ sqrt((1 + 2*r*s^3 + 3*r^2*s^4)/(2*Pi*s*(3 + 5*r*s))) / (2*n^(3/2)*r^(n+1/2)), where r = 0.187614989725738719..., s = 1.61178302212918247... are roots of the system of equations r + 4*r^2*s^3 + 5*r^3*s^4 = 1, (1+r*s)*(1+r^2*s^4) = s. - Vaclav Kotesovec, May 28 2014
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 7*x^3 + 26*x^4 + 102*x^5 + 424*x^6 + 1827*x^7 +...
Related expansions:
A(x)^4 = 1 + 4*x + 14*x^2 + 56*x^3 + 237*x^4 + 1028*x^5 + 4570*x^6 +...
A(x)^5 = 1 + 5*x + 20*x^2 + 85*x^3 + 375*x^4 + 1681*x^5 + 7660*x^6 +...
where A(x) = 1 + x*A(x) + x^2*A(x)^4 + x^3*A(x)^5.
The logarithm of the g.f. equals the series:
log(A(x)) = (1 + x*A(x)^3)*x + (1 + 2^2*x*A(x)^3 + x^2*A(x)^6)*x^2/2 +
(1 + 3^2*x*A(x)^3 + 3^2*x^2*A(x)^6 + x^3*A(x)^9)*x^3/3 +
(1 + 4^2*x*A(x)^3 + 6^2*x^2*A(x)^6 + 4^2*x^3*A(x)^9 + x^4*A(x)^12)*x^4/4 +
(1 + 5^2*x*A(x)^3 + 10^2*x^2*A(x)^6 + 10^2*x^3*A(x)^9 + 5^2*x^4*A(x)^12 + x^5*A(x)^15)*x^5/5 +...
more explicitly,
log(A(x)) = x + 3*x^2/2 + 16*x^3/3 + 75*x^4/4 + 356*x^5/5 + 1746*x^6/6 + 8660*x^7/7 + 43299*x^8/8 +...
Also, g.f. A(x) = G(x*A(x)) where G(x) = A(x/G(x)) (g.f. of A104545) begins:
G(x) = 1 + x + x^2 + 3*x^3 + 5*x^4 + 11*x^5 + 25*x^6 + 55*x^7 + 129*x^8 +...
