%N a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)*binomial(2*k,k).

%C Partial sums of A085362. Number of bilateral Schroeder paths (i.e., lattice paths consisting of steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1) and H=(2,0)) from (0,0) to (2n,0) and with no H-steps at odd (positive or negative) levels. Example: a(2)=11 because we have HUD, UDH, UDUD, UUDD, UDDU, their reflections in the x-axis and HH. - _Emeric Deutsch_, Jan 30 2004
