Formula

Binomial transform of A111883.

From Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 01 2017: (Start)

a(n) = (n+1)*a(n-1) + (n-1)^2*a(n-2) - (n-2)*(n-1)^2*a(n-3) + (n-3)*(n-2)*(n-1)*a(n-4).

E.g.f.: exp((2-x)*x/(1-x)) / sqrt(1-x^2).

a(n) ~ exp(1/2 + 2*sqrt(n) - n) * n^n / 2.

(End)

Mathematica

a[n_] := Sum[Binomial[n, k]*Abs[HermiteH[k, I/Sqrt[2]]]^2/2^k, {k, 0, n}];
