%H Clark Kimberling, <a href="/A249060/b249060.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..100</a>

%F From _Derek Orr_, Oct 21 2014: (Start)

%F a(2*n) = (2*n+3)*(2*n+1)!!/3, for n > 0.

%F a(2*n+1) = (n+2)!*2^(n+1), for n > 0.

%F For n > 2, if n is even, a(n)/[(n+1)*(n-1)*(n-3)*...*7*5] = n + 3 and if n is odd, a(n)/[(n+1)*(n-1)*(n-3)*...*6*4] = n + 3. (End)

%F a(n) = gcd_2((n+3)!,(n+3)!!), where gcd_2(b,c) denotes the second-largest common divisor of non-coprime integers b and c, as defined in A309491. - _Lechoslaw Ratajczak_, Apr 15 2021

%F D-finite with recurrence: a(n) - (3+n)*a(n-2) = 0. - _Georg Fischer_, Nov 25 2022

%F Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 3*sqrt(e*Pi/2)*erf(1/sqrt(2)) + 2*sqrt(e) - 6, where erf is the error function. - _Amiram Eldar_, Dec 10 2022

%e 5 4 1,

%e so that a(0) = 1, a(1) = 4, a(2) = 5.
