FORMULA

G.f.: (1 - 2*x + 2*x^2 - sqrt(1 - 4*x + 4*x^2 - 4*x^3))/(2*x^2).
Conjecture: (n+2)*a(n) - 2*(2*n+1)*a(n-1) + 4*(n-1)*a(n-2) + 2*(5-2*n)*a(n-3)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Aug 14 2012
This conjecture follows from the differential equation (4*x^4-4*x^3+4*x^2-x)*y' + (2*x^3-4*x^2+6*x-2)*y - 2*x^3+2*x^2-3*x+2=0 satisfied by the g.f. - Robert Israel, Jan 09 2018
