FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..2n} (-1)^k A022166(2n,k).
a(0) = 1, a(n) = (1 - 2^(2n-1))*a(n-1).
a(n)/A005329(2n) is the coefficient of z^(2n) in the expansion of eq(-z)*eq(z) where eq(z) is the q-exponential function.
O.g.f.: Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n = 1/(1 + (q-1)*x/(1 + q*(q^2-1)*x/(1 + q^2*(q^3-1)*x/(1 + q^3*(q^4-1)*x/(1 + q^4*(q^5-1)*x/(1 + q^5*(q^6-1)*x/(1 + ...))))))), a continued fraction, when evaluated at q = 2. - Paul D. Hanna, Aug 29 2020
O.g.f.: Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^(2*n) = Sum_{n>=0} (-x)^k / Product{k=0..n} (1 - 2^k*x). - Paul D. Hanna, Aug 29 2020
