Formula

a(n) = C(n)*C(n+3) - C(n+1)*C(n+2) for n>=0 where C() is the Catalan numbers A000108.

a(n)*a(n+1) = 4*A005700(n)*A005700(n+2) for all n in Z.

a(n) = 24 * (2*n)! * (2*n+3)! / ( n! * (n+1)! * (n+2)! * (n+4)! ) for n>=0.

(n+4)*(n+2)*a(n) -4*(2*n+3)*(2*n-1)*a(n-1)=0.

0 = a(n)*(+3840*a(n+3) - 660*a(n+4)) + a(n+1)*(+256*a(n+2) + 144*a(n+3) + 15*a(n+4)) + a(n+2)*(+4*a(n+2) + a(n+3)) for all n in Z.

0 = a(n)^2*(+196608*a(n+1)^2 - 14336*a(n+1)*a(n+2) - 25872*a(n+2)^2) + a(n)*a(n+1)*(+67584*a(n+1)^2 + 16672*a(n+1)*a(n+2) - 56*a(n+2)^2) + a(n+1)^2*(+1008*a(n+1)^2 + 264*a(n+1)*a(n+2) + 3*a(n+2)^2) for all n in Z.
