FORMULA
a(0) = 1, a(1) = a(2) = 0; a(n) = a(n-1) + Sum_{k=0..n-3} a(k) * a(n-k-3).
a(n) ~ 2^(n+1) / (sqrt(Pi) * n^(3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 30 2021
From Seiichi Manyama, Sep 26 2024: (Start)
G.f.: 2/(1 + sqrt(1 - 4*x^3/(1 - x))).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/3)} binomial(2*k,k) * binomial(n-2*k-1,n-3*k) / (k+1). (End)
