COMMENTS

Number of parallelogram polyominoes having n+1 columns and n+1 rows. - Emeric Deutsch, May 21 2003

Number of tilings of a <n,2,n> hexagon.

a(n) = number of non-crossing partitions of [2n+1] into n+1 blocks. For example, a[1] counts 13-2, 1-23, 12-3. - David Callan, Jul 25 2005

a(n)=A001700(n)*A000108(n) =(1/2)*A000984(n+1)*A000108(n). - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jun 06 2007

The number of returning walks of length 2n on the upper half of a square lattice, since a(n)=Sum_{k=0..2n}Binomial(2n,k)A126120(k)A126869(n-k). - Andrew V. Sutherland (drew(AT)math.mit.edu), Mar 24 2008

For sequences counting walks in the upper half-plane starting from the origin and finishing at the lattice points (0,m) see A145600 (m = 1), A145601 (m = 2), A145602 (m = 3) and A145603 (m = 4). [From Peter Bala, Oct 14 2008]

For n>0, A000891(n)/(n+2) = A000356 starting (1, 5, 35, 294,...). [Gary W. Adamson, Apr 8 2011]

FORMULA

G.f.: (1 - E(16*x)/(pi/2))/(4*x)  where E is the elliptic integral of the second kind.

G.f.: 3F2(1, 1/2, 3/2; 2,2; 16*x)= (1 - 2F1(-1/2, 1/2; 1; 16*x))/(4*x).

E.g.f.: Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^(2*n)/(2*n)! = BesselI(0, 2x)*BesselI(1, 2*x)/x . - Michael Somos, Jun 22 2005

a(n) = A001263(2*n+1,n+1) = binomial(2*n+1,n+1)*binomial(2*n+1,n)/(2*n+1) (central members of odd numbered rows of Narayana triangle).

G.f.: If G_N(x)=1+sum('((2*k)!*(2*k+1)!*x^k)/(((k!)*((k+1)!))^2)', 'k'=1..N),  G_N(x)=1+12*x/(G(0)-12*x); G(k)=16*x*(k^2)+32*x*k+(k^2)+4*k+12*x+4-4*x*(2*k+3)*(2*k+5)*((k+2)^2)/G(k+1) ; (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 24 2011

MAPLE
