FORMULA
G.f.: -(5*x-1) / (25*x^2-15*x+1). - Colin Barker, Aug 29 2013
a(n) = 5^n*A001519(n+1). - R. J. Mathar, Jul 26 2019
From Stefano Spezia, Nov 16 2025: (Start)
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..2*n+1} binomial(2*n+1, k)*A000045(k)^2 (see Grimaldi).
E.g.f.: exp(15*x/2)*(5*cosh(5*sqrt(5)*x/2) + sqrt(5)*sinh(5*sqrt(5)*x/2))/5. (End)
