COMMENTS
The triangle associated to A086617 is given by T(n,k)=if(k<=n, sum{j=0..n-k, C(n-k,j)C(k,j)C(j)},0). A050253(n)=A108296(n+2)-A108296(n).
FORMULA
G.f.: (1-x^2-sqrt(1-2*x^2-4*x^3-3*x^4))/(2*x^3*(1-x^2)).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} Sum_{j=0..n-2*k} binomial(n-2*k, j)*binomial(k, j) * A000108(j).
Conjecture: (n+3)*a(n) +(-n-2)*a(n-1) +2*(-n-1)*a(n-2) +2*(-n+3)*a(n-3) +(n+1)*a(n-4) +3*(n-2)*a(n-5)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 16 2012
