COMMENTS
More generally, coefficients of (1 + m*x - sqrt(m^2*x^2 - (2*m+4)*x + 1) )/( (2*m+2)*x ) are given by a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (m+1)^k*N(n,k).
The Hankel transform of this sequence is 6^C(n+1,2). - Philippe Deléham, Oct 29 2007
Shifts left when INVERT transform applied six times. - Benedict W. J. Irwin, Feb 07 2016

FORMULA
G.f.: (1 + 5*x - sqrt(25*x^2-14*x+1))/(12*x).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A088617(n, k)*6^k*(-5)^(n-k). - Philippe Deléham, Jan 21 2004
a(n) = ( 7*(2*n-1)*a(n-1) - 25*(n-2)*a(n-2) ) / (n+1) for n>=2, a(0) = a(1) = 1. - Philippe Deléham, Aug 19 2005
From Gary W. Adamson, Jul 08 2011: (Start)
a(n) = upper left term in M^n, M = the production matrix:
1, 1;
6, 6, 6;
1, 1, 1, 1;
6, 6, 6, 6, 6;
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1;
... (End)
a(n) ~ sqrt(12+7*sqrt(6))*(7+2*sqrt(6))^n/(12*sqrt(Pi)*n^(3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 13 2012
G.f.: 1/(1 - x/(1 - 6*x/(1 - x/(1 - 6*x/(1 - x/(1 - ...)))))), a continued fraction. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Apr 21 2017
a(n) = hypergeom([1 - n, -n], [2], 6). - Peter Luschny, Mar 19 2018
