FORMULA

G.f.: 3/sqrt(1-4*x) - 2;

a(n) = 3*binomial(2*n, n) - 2*0^n.

From Philippe Deléham, Oct 30 2008: (Start)

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A039599(n,k)*A010686(k).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A106566(n,k)*A082505(k+1). (End)

D-finite with recurrence: n*a(n) = 2*(2*n-1)*a(n-1). - R. J. Mathar, Nov 30 2012

E.g.f.: -2 + 3*exp(2*x)*BesselI(0, 2*x). - G. C. Greubel, Jun 16 2022
