The solution is

  a[n] n! == (a0^(n/2) (2^n C[1] + (-2)^n C[2]) *
    Gamma[(b0 + 2 a0 (n + 2) - Sqrt[b0^2 - 4 a0 c0])/(4 a0)] *
    Gamma[(b0 + 2 a0 (n + 2) + Sqrt[b0^2 - 4 a0 c0])/(4 a0)])/   
   (Gamma[(4 a0 + b0 - Sqrt[b0^2 - 4 a0 c0])/(4 a0)] *
    Gamma[(4 a0 + b0 + Sqrt[b0^2 - 4 a0 c0])/(4 a0)])

Cheers,
Paul
