FORMULA
a(n) = (n+1)*sum(k=0..n, (C(n-k-1,k)*sum(i=0..n-k, 2^i*C(k+1,n-k-i) *C(k+i,k)*(-1)^(n-k-i)))/(k+1)).
Conjecture D-finite with recurrence: -(n+1)*(3*n-4)*a(n) +(9*n^2-3*n-4)*a(n-1) +2*(9*n^2-21*n+8)*a(n-2) +2*(-3*n^2+n+8)*a(n-3) +(-15*n^2+53*n-12)*a(n-4) -(3*n-1)*(n-4)*a(n-5)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 25 2020
a(n) ~ 5^(1/4) * phi^(3*n + 2) / (2^(3/2) * sqrt(Pi*n)), where phi = A001622 is the golden ratio. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 19 2021
PROG
(Maxima) a(n):=(n+1)*sum((binomial(n-k-1, k)*sum(2^i*binomial(k+1, n-k-i)*binomial(k+i, k)*(-1)^(n-k-i), i, 0, n-k))/(k+1), k, 0, n);
