a(n+1)= Y_{n}(n+1)= Z_{n}, n >= 0, in the Derrida et al. 1992 reference (see A064094) for alpha=8, beta =1 (or alpha=1, beta=8).

FORMULA
G.f.: (1 + 8*x*c(8*x)/7)/(1+x/7) = 1/(1 - x*c(8*x)) with c(x) g.f. of Catalan numbers A000108.
a(n) = Sum_{m=0..n-1} (n-m)*binomial(n-1+m, m)*(8^m)/n.
a(n) = (-1/7)^n*(1 - 8*Sum_{k=0..n-1} C(k)*(-56)^k ), n >= 1, a(0) := 1; with C(n)=A000108(n) (Catalan).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A059365(n, k)*8^(n-k). - Philippe Deléham, Jan 19 2004
Conjecture: 7*n*a(n) +(-223*n+336)*a(n-1) +16*(-2*n+3)*a(n-2)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 07 2013
a(n) ~ 2^(5*n+3)/(225*sqrt(Pi)*n^(3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 13 2013
