The two parameter Fuss-Catalan sequence is A(n,p,r) := r*binomial(n*p + r, n)/(n*p + r), with o.g.f. G(p,r,x) = G(x) satisfying G(x) = {1 + x*G(x)^(p/r)}^r ; this is the case p = 6, r = 2. - Peter Bala, Oct 14 2015

FORMULA
a(n) = 2*binomial(6*n+2,n)/(6*n+2).
G.f.: A(x) = G(x)^2 where G(x) = 1 + x*G(x)^6 is the g.f. of A002295.
a(n) = 2*binomial(6n+1, n-1)/n for n>0, a(0)=1. [Bruno Berselli, Jan 19 2014]
A(x^2) = 1/x * series reversion (x/C(x^2)^2), where C(x) = (1 - sqrt( 1 - 4*x))/(2*x) is the o.g.f. for the Catalan numbers A000108. - Peter Bala, Oct 14 2015
D-finite with recurrence 5*n*(5*n+1)*(5*n+2)*(5*n-2)*(5*n-1)*a(n) -72*(6*n-1)*(3*n-1)*(2*n-1)*(3*n-2)*(6*n+1)*a(n-1)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 22 2024
