FORMULA
a(n) = (1/n) * Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) * binomial(n-2*k,n-k-1) for n > 0.
a(n) = (1/2) * Sum_{k=0..n} 4^k * binomial(k/2+1/2,k) * binomial(n-1,n-k)/(k+1) for n > 0.
G.f.: A(x) = 2*x/(1+x - sqrt(1-2*x+5*x^2)).
D-finite with recurrence n*a(n) +3*(-n+1)*a(n-1) +(7*n-18)*a(n-2) +5*(-n+3)*a(n-3)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Apr 22 2024
