%S 1,1,3,7,22,70,249,880,3238,12180,46247,174458,672920,2585414,10015955

%N Number of different energy states of n positive and n negative charges on a string.

%H Sean A. Irvine, <a href="https://github.com/archmageirvine/joeis/blob/master/src/irvine/oeis/a045/A045610.java">Java program</a>, GitHub.

%e For n=3 the 20 different arrangements of -1,-1,-1,1,1,1 result in 7 energy levels (sum of signed inverse distances):

%e {0,0,0,1,1,1},{1,1,1,0,0,0}: 13/10

%e {0,0,1,0,1,1},{1,1,0,1,0,0}: -41/30

%e {0,0,1,1,0,1},{0,1,0,0,1,1},{1,0,1,1,0,0},{1,1,0,0,1,0}: -56/30

%e {0,0,1,1,1,0},{0,1,1,1,0,0},{1,0,0,0,1,1},{1,1,0,0,0,1}: -8/10

%e {0,1,0,1,0,1},{1,0,1,0,1,0}: -37/10

%e {0,1,0,1,1,0},{0,1,1,0,1,0},{1,0,0,1,0,1},{1,0,1,0,0,1}: -89/30

%e {0,1,1,0,0,1},{1,0,0,1,1,0}: -71/30

%e so the multiplicities are 4*2 + 3*4 = 20 = binomial(6,3).
