Formula

a(n)= ((6^(2*(n-1)))/(n-1))*sum((m+1)*(m+2)*binomial(2*(n-2)-m, n-2-m)*((1/6)^(m+1)), m=0..n-2), n >= 2, a(0) := 1=: a(1).

G.f.:(1-11*x*c(36*x))/(1-6*x*c(36*x))^2 = c(36*x)*(11+25*c(36*x))/(1+5*c(36*x))^2 = (11*c(36*x)*(6*x)^2+5*(5+17*x))/(5+6*x)^2 with c(x)= A(x) g.f. of Catalan numbers A000108.
