%N a(0)=1; thereafter a(n) = -2*Sum_{k=1..n} binomial(2n,2k)*a(n-k).

%C The version without signs has an interpretation as a sum over marked Schröder paths. See the Josuat-Verges and Kim reference.

%C Consider the sequence defined by a(0)=1; thereafter a(n) = c*Sum_{k=1..n} binomial(2n,2k)*a(n-k). For c = -3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3, 4 this is A210676, A210657, A028296, A094088, A210672, A210674, A249939.

%C Apparently a(n) = 2*(-1)^n*A002114(n). - _R. J. Mathar_, Mar 01 2015

%F O.g.f.: Sum_{n>=0} (2*n)! * (-x)^n / Product_{k=1..n} (1 - k^2*x). - _Paul D. Hanna_, Sep 17 2012

%F From _Peter Bala_, Mar 09 2015: (Start)

%F a(n) = 3^(2*n)*E(2*n,1/3), where E(n,x) is the n-th Euler polynomial.

%F O.g.f.: Sum_{n >= 0} 1/2^n * Sum_{k = 0..n} (-1)^k*binomial(n,k)/(1 - x*(3*k + 1)^2).

%F O.g.f. as a continued fraction: 1/(1 + (3^2 - 1^2)*x/(4 + 12^2*x/(4 + (18^2 - 2^2)*x/(4 + 24^2*x/(4 + (30^2 - 2^2)*x/(4 + 36^2*x/(4 + ... ))))))) = 1 - 2*x + 22*x^2 - 602*x^3 + 30742*x^4 - .... See Josuat-Vergès and Kim, p. 23.

%F The expansion of exp( Sum_{n >= 1} a(n)*x^n/n ) appears to have integer coefficients. See A255882. (End)

%F a(n) = 2*36^n*(zeta(-n*2,1/6)-zeta(-n*2,2/3)), where zeta(a,z) is the generalized Riemann zeta function. - _Peter Luschny_, Mar 11 2015

%F a(n) ~ 2 * (-1)^n * (2*n)! * 3^(2*n+1/2) / Pi^(2*n+1). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Mar 14 2015

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A241171(n, k)*(-2)^k. - _Peter Luschny_, Sep 03 2022
