Conjecture: For p Pythagorean prime (A002144), a(p) - 5 == 0 (mod p).
Conjecture: For p prime of the form 4*k + 3 (A002145), a(p) + 1 == 0 (mod p).
FORMULA
a(n) = 4*A000984(n) - 3* A029759(n) = binomial(2*n,n) + 3*Sum_{k=0..n-1} 2^(n-k-1)*binomial(2*k,k).
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + A028270(n) = 2*a(n-1) + binomial(2*n, n) + binomial(2*n-2, n-1) for n >= 1.
a(n) = - 2^(n-1)*3*i + binomial(2*n,n)*(1-3/2*hypergeom([1,n+1/2],[n + 1],2)).
a(n) = A082590(n-1) + A082590(n) for n >= 1.
a(n) = (5*A188622(n) - 2*A126966(n)) / 3.
D-finite with recurrence n*a(n) -5*n*a(n-1) +2*(n+5)*a(n-2) +4*(2*n-5)*a(n-3)=0. - R. J. Mathar, May 01 2024
