Formula

G.f.: c(x * (1+x^3)), where c(x) is the g.f. of A000108.

a(n) ~ 2 * sqrt(1-3*r) / (sqrt(Pi) * n^(3/2) * r^n), where r = 0.2463187933841... is the smallest positive root of the equation1 1 - 4*r - 4*r^4 = 0. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 01 2023

D-finite with recurrence (n+1)*a(n) +2*(-2*n+1)*a(n-1) +(n+1)*a(n-3) +2*(-4*n+11)*a(n-4) +4*(-n+5)*a(n-7)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Mar 12 2023
