FORMULA
a(n) = C(n+1,ceiling((n-1)/2)) *C(n,floor((n-1)/2)) -C(n+1,ceiling((n-2)/2)) *C(n,floor((n-2)/2)). - Paul D. Hanna, Apr 16 2004
G.f.: -(48*x^3-16*x^2-3*x+1)*EllipticK(4*x)/(12*Pi*x^4)+(4*x^2-9*x+1)*EllipticE(4*x)/(12*Pi*x^4)+1/(4*x^3)-1/(2*x^2) (using Maple's convention for elliptic integrals: EllipticE(t) = Integral_{s=0..1} sqrt(1 - s^2*t^2)/sqrt(1-s^2) ds, EllipticK(t) = Integral_{s=0..1} ((1-s^2*t^2)*(1-s^2))^(-1/2) ds). - Robert Israel, Oct 19 2014
Conjecture: -(n-1)*(2*n+1)*(n+4)*(n+3)*a(n) +4*(n+1)*(2*n^2+4*n+9)*a(n-1) +16*n*(n-1)*(2*n+3)*(n+1)*a(n-2)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Apr 02 2017
