FORMULA
a(n) = binomial(n+2,2) + Sum_{k=0..n-3} a(k) * a(n-k-3).
G.f. A(x) satisfies: A(x) = 1/(1-x)^3 + x^3 * A(x)^2.
G.f.: 2 / ( (1-x) * ((1-x)^2 + sqrt((1-x)^4 - 4*x^3*(1-x))) ).
D-finite with recurrence (n+3)*a(n) +4*(-n-2)*a(n-1) +6*(n+1)*a(n-2) +2*(-4*n+3)*a(n-3) +5*(n-1)*a(n-4)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 25 2023
