a(n) is the number of ordered trees on 2n-1 edges in which every subtree of the root (including its rooting edge) has an even number of edges, except for the leftmost subtree which has an odd number of edges (including its rooting edge). - David Callan, Apr 10 2012
a(n) is the number of 2 X 2n Young tableaux with a wall between the first and second row in each even column. If there is a wall between two cells, the entries may be decreasing; see [Banderier, Wallner 2021].
Example for a(1)=3:
3 4 2 4 2 3

FORMULA

If x = y*(1-y^2)/(1+y^2)^2 then y = x + 3*x^3 + 22*x^5 + 211*x^7 + 2306*x^9 + ...
G.f. A(x) satisfies x*A(x^2) = (C(x) - C(-x))/(C(x) + C(-x)) where C(x) is g.f. of the Catalan numbers A000108.
a(n) = ((2^(4n+2))/Gamma(1/2)) * ((Gamma(n+1/2)/(2*Gamma(n+2))) - Gamma(2n+3/2)/Gamma(2n+3)). [David Dickson (dcmd(AT)unimelb.edu.au), Nov 10 2009]
G.f.: exp( Sum_{n>=1} C(4n-1,2n)*x^n/n ). - Paul D. Hanna, Dec 30 2010
G.f.: C(sqrt(x))*C(-sqrt(x)) where C(x) is the g.f. for the Catalan numbers A000108. - David Callan, Apr 10 2012
D-finite with recurrence n*(n+1)*(2*n+1)*a(n) -2*n*(32*n^2-32*n+11)*a(n-1) +16*(4*n-5)*(4*n-3)*(2*n-3)*a(n-2)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 29 2012
a(n) = 2^(2*n+1)*Catalan(n) - Catalan(2*n+1) (see Regev). It follows that the 2-adic valuations of a(n) and Catalan(n) are equal. In particular, a(n) is odd iff n is of the form 2^m - 1. - Peter Bala, Aug 02 2016
G.f.: (sqrt(2) * sqrt(1 + sqrt(1-16*x)) - sqrt(1-16*x) - 1)/(4*x). - Vladimir Reshetnikov, Sep 25 2016
G.f. A(x) satisfies A(x^2) = C(x)^2*r(-x*C(x)^2), where C(x) is g.f. of the Catalan numbers A000108, and r(x) is g.f. of the large Schröder numbers A006318. - Alexander Burstein, Nov 21 2019
A(x) = exp( Sum_{n >= 1} (1/2)*binomial(4*n,2*n)*x^n/n ).
1 + x*A(x) is the o.g.f. of A066357.
The sequence defined by b(n) := [x^n] A(x)^n begins [1, 3, 53, 1056, 22181, 480003, 10588508, 236720424, ...] and satisfies the congruence b(p) == b(1) (mod p^3) for prime p >= 3. See A333563. Cf. A060491. (End)
