Comments

From G. C. Greubel, May 23 2020: (Start)

This sequence is part of a class of sequences, for m >= 0, with the properties:

a(n) = 2*m*(4*m+1)^(n-1) - (1/2)*Sum_{k=1..n-1} a(k)*a(n-k).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} m^k * binomial(n-1, n-k) * binomial(2*k, k).

n*a(n) = 2*((2*m+1)*n - (m+1))*a(n-1) - (4*m+1)*(n-2)*a(n-2).

a(n) = (2*m) * Hypergeometric2F1(-n+1, 3/2; 2; -4*m), for n > 0.

(4*m + 1)^n = Sum_{k=0..n} Sum_{j=0..k} a(j)*a(k-j).

G.f.: sqrt( (1 - t)/(1 - (4*m+1)*t) ).

This sequence is the case of m=3. (End)
