%F A007272 Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 4/9 + 28*Pi/(3^5*sqrt(3)).
%F A007272 Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = 38/1875 - 56*log(phi)/(5^4*sqrt(5)), where phi is the golden ratio (A001622). (End)
%F A007272 From _Peter Bala_, Mar 11 2023: (Start)
%F A007272 a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..2} (-1)^k*4^(2-k)*binomial(n,k)*Catalan(n+k) = 16*Catalan(n) - 8*Catalan(n+1) + Catalan(n+2), where Catalan(n) = A000108(n). Thus a(n) is an integer for all n.
%F A007272 a(n) is odd if n = 2^k - 3, k >= 2, else a(n) is even. (End)
