(2*n+1)!!/a(n+1), n>=0, is the n-th approximant for William Brouncker's continued fraction for 4/Pi =1+1^2/(2+3^2/(2+5^2/(2+... See the C. Brezinski and J.-P. Delahaye references given under A142969 and A142970, respectively. The double factorials (2*n+1)!! = A001147(n+1) enter. W. Lang, Oct 06 2008.

E.g.f. for a(n+1), n>=0: (sqrt(1-2*x)+arcsin(2*x)*sqrt(1+2*x)/2)/((1-4*x^2)^(1/2)*(1-2*x)). From the recurrence, solving (1-4*x^2)y''(x)-2*(8*x+1)*y'(x)-9*y=0 with inputs y(0)=1, y'(0)=2.
a(n+1)= A003148(n) + A143165(n), n>=0 (from the two terms of the e.g.f.). (End)

a(n) = (-1)^(n-1)*(2*n-3)!! + (2*n-1)*a(n-1) with a(0) = 0.
a(n) = (2*n-1)!!*sum((-1)^(k)/(2*k+1), k=0..n-1)
