Formula

G.f. satisfies: A(x) = [A(x)*A(-x)] + x*[A(x)*A(-x)]^5.

G.f. satisfies: A(x)*A(-x) = (A(x) + A(-x))/2 = G(x^2) where G(x) = 1 + x*G(x)^9 is the g.f. of A062994.

a(2n) = binomial(9*n,n)/(8*n+1); a(2n+1) = binomial(9*n+4,n)*5/(8*n+5).

a(0) = 1; a(n) = Sum_{i, j, k, l, m>=0 and i+2*j+2*k+2*l+2*m=n-1} a(i) * a(2*j) * a(2*k) * a(2*l) * a(2*m). - Seiichi Manyama, Jul 07 2025
