FORMULA
E.g.f.: (3 + 12*x + 8*x^2 - 3*exp(4*x) + 8*exp(4*x)*x - 8*exp(2*x)*I_1(2*x) )/4, where I_1(.) is the modified Bessel function of the first kind. - Bruno Berselli, May 08 2018
(n+1)*(2*n^2-7*n+7)*a(n) - 2*n*(4*n-5)*(2*n-3)*a(n-1) + 8*(2*n-3)*(2*n^2-3*n+2)*a(n-2) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, May 08 2018
