Formula

a(n) = (Sum_{i=0..n+3} binomial(n+1, n-i+3)*binomial(n+i, n) )/(2*(n+1)).

a(n) ~ sqrt(3*sqrt(2)-4) / (4*sqrt(Pi) * n^(3/2) * (sqrt(2)-1)^(2*n+5)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 20 2014

a(n) = hypergeom([-n,-n-2], [2], 2). - Peter Luschny, Sep 23 2014

a(n) = (A001003(n+2) - A001003(n+1))/2. - Philippe Deléham, Sep 23 2014

Conjectured to be D-finite with recurrence: (n+3)*a(n) + (-7*n-10)*a(n-1) + (7*n-3)*a(n-2) + (-n+2)*a(n-3) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 02 2014

From Peter Bala, Jan 28 2020: (Start)

O.g.f. A(x) satisfies A(x*(1 - x)/(1 + x)) = Sum_{n >= 0} (n + 1)^2*x^n.

Equivalently, A(x) = (1 + x*S(x))/(1 - x*S(x))^3 where S(x) is the o.g.f. for the large Schröder numbers A006318. (End)
