Formula
3*a(n) = (4*n-1)(!^4) := Product_{j=1..n} 4*j-1 = (4*n-1)!!/A007696(n) = (4*n)!/(4^n*(2*n)!*A007696(n)), A007696(n)=(4*n-3)(!^4), n >= 1;
E.g.f.: (-1 + (1-4*x)^(-3/4))/3.
a(n) ~ 4/3 * 2^(1/2) * Pi^(1/2) * Gamma(3/4)^(-1) * n^(5/4) * 2^(2*n) * e^(-n) * n^n * {1 + 71/96*n^(-1) + ...}. - Joe Keane (jgk(AT)jgk.org), Nov 23 2001
G.f.: 1/Q(0) where Q(k) = 1 - x + 2*(2*k-1)*x - 4*x*(k+1) / Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, May 03 2013
