%N Analog of Motzkin numbers for Coxeter type D.

%F a(n) = A002426(n-1) + A290380(n) (the latter being extended by A290380(2)=0).

%F Conjectural algebraic equation: 3*t+2+(3*t^2+5*t-2)*f(t)+(3*t^3-t^2)*f(t)^2 = 0.

%F From _Peter Luschny_, Jan 23 2018: (Start)

%F a(n) = hypergeom([(1-n)/2,1-n/2],[1],4]+(n-2)*hypergeom([1-n/2,3/2-n/2],[2],4).

%F a(n) = G(n-1,1-n,-1/2) + G(n-2,1-n,-1/2)*(n-2)/(n-1) where G(n,a,x) denotes the n-th Gegenbauer polynomial. (End)

%F D-finite with recurrence +2*n*a(n) +(-7*n+6)*a(n-1) +9*(n-4)*a(n-3)=0. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jul 27 2022
