{a(n)=local(CF=1+4*x+x*O(x^n)); for(k=1, n-1, CF=1/(1-4*x-(n-k)*x^2*CF)); polcoeff(CF, n)}

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..[n/2]} 4^(n-2*k)/2^k * n!/((n-2*k)!*k!).

O.g.f.: 1/(1-4*x - x^2/(1-4*x - 2*x^2/(1-4*x - 3*x^2/(1-4*x - 4*x^2/(1-4*x -...))))), a continued fraction.

Recurrence: a(n) = 4*a(n-1) + (n-1)*a(n-2). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 20 2012

a(n) ~ exp(4*sqrt(n)-n/2-4)*n^(n/2)/sqrt(2)*(1+11/(3*sqrt(n))). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 20 2012
