%F Given an integer t >= 1 and initial values u = [a_0, a_1, ..., a_{t-1}], we may define an infinite sequence Phi(u) by setting a_n = a_{n-1} + a_0*a_{n-1} + a_1*a_{n-2} + ... + a_{n-2}*a_1 for n >= t. For example, Phi([1]) is the Catalan numbers A000108. The present sequence is Phi([1,1,1,1]). - _Gary W. Adamson_, Oct 27 2008

%F G.f.: 1/2 - sqrt(8*x^4+4*x^3-4*x+1)/2. - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Jan 25 2015

%F Recurrence: n*a(n) = 2*(2*n-3)*a(n-1) - 2*(2*n-9)*a(n-3) - 8*(n-6)*a(n-4). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Jan 25 2015
