Formula

From Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 21 2012: (Start)

G.f.: -sqrt(x-1)/(5*x-1)^(3/2).

Recurrence: n*a(n) = (6*n+1)*a(n-1) - 5*(n-1)*a(n-2).

a(n) ~ 4*5^(n-1/2)*sqrt(n)/sqrt(Pi).

(End)

a(n) = hypergeom([3/2, -n], [1], -4) = hypergeom([3/2, n+1], [1], 4/5)/(5*sqrt(5)). - Vladimir Reshetnikov, Apr 25 2016

E.g.f.: exp(3*x) * ((1 + 4*x) * BesselI(0,2*x) + 4 * x * BesselI(1,2*x)). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Nov 19 2021

Maple

a := proc(n) local i; add(binomial(n, i)/Beta(i+1, i+1), i=0..n) end:
