FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} C(k)*C(k+1,n-k). - Paul Barry, Feb 23 2005
From Paul Barry, Jan 23 2006: (Start)
a(n+1) = Jacobi_P(n, 2, 0, 0)*2^n*(cos(Pi*n/2)+sin(Pi*n/2)).
a(n+1) = (Sum_{k=0..n} C(n,k)*C(n+2,k)*(-1)^k)*(cos(Pi*n/2)+sin(Pi*n/2)). (End)

E.g.f.: 1 + integral(G(0)) dx where G(k) = 1 + 2*x/(1 - 2*x/(2*x + (2*k+2)*(2*k+4)/G(k+1) )); (recursively defined continued fraction).
E.g.f.: 1 + x*G(0) where G(k) = 1 + x*(2*k+1)/(k+1 - x*(k+1)/(x + (k+2)*(2*k+3)/G(k+1) )); (recursively defined continued fraction).
E.g.f.: E(x) = integral( (1/x + 2)*BesselI(1,2*x) ) dx. (End)
G.f.: G(0), where G(k) = 1 + x/(k+1 - (k+1)*(4*k+2)*x/((4*k+2)*x + 1/G(k+1) )); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jul 19 2013

Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 10/3 + 2*Pi/(3*sqrt(3)).
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = 2/3 + 2*Pi/(9*sqrt(3)). (End)
