FORMULA
|
a(n) = Gamma(1+sqrt(2)+n)*Gamma(1-sqrt(2)+n)*sin(Pi*sqrt(2))/(Pi*sqrt(2)).
a(n) ~ exp(-2*n)*n^(2*n+1)*sqrt(2)*sin(Pi*sqrt(2)).
G.f. for 1/a(n): hypergeom([1],[1-sqrt(2),1+sqrt(2)], x].
E.g.f. for 1/a(n): hypergeom([],[1-sqrt(2),1+sqrt(2)], x].
E.g.f. for a(n)/n!: hypergeom([1-sqrt(2),1+sqrt(2)], [1], x].
Recurrence: a(0) = 1, a(n) = (n^2-2)*a(n-1).
0 = a(n)*(-24*a(n+2) - 15*a(n+3) + a(n+4)) + a(n+1)*(-9*a(n+2) - 4*a(n+3)) + a(n+2)*(+3*a(n+2)) if n>=0. - Michael Somos, Oct 30 2015

For n = 3, a(3) = (1^2 - 2)*(2^2 - 2)*(3^2 - 2) = -14.
G.f. = 1 - x - 2*x^2 - 14*x^3 - 196*x^4 - 4508*x^5 - 153272*x^6 + ...
