A063074 Number of partitions of 2n^2 whose Ferrers-plot fits within a 2n X 2n box; number of ways to cut a 2n X 2n chessboard into two equal-area pieces along a non-descending line from lower left to upper right. 8

%N Number of partitions of 2n^2 whose Ferrers-plot fits within a 2n X 2n box; number of ways to cut a 2n X 2n chessboard into two equal-area pieces along a non-descending line from lower left to upper right.

%C Also the number of subsets of {1,...,4n} containing exactly 2n elements with total sum n*(4n+1) (see also A060468 for a related sequence). This is of course the same as the number of partitions of n*(4n+1) having 2n distinct parts of length at most 4n. This number is the coefficient of t^0 q^0 in the product('(t*q^k+1/(t*q^k)','k'=1..4*n). - _Roland Bacher_, May 02 2002

%C A bijection with a dissection as above of the 2n X 2n checkerboard is given by subtracting 1,2,3,...,2n of the smallest, second-smallest, etc. element in the subset. Example for n=2: {1,2,7,8} (yields the checkerboard partition {1-1,2-2,7-3,8-4}={0,0,4,4}), {1,3,6,8} (yields {1-1,3-2,6-3,8-4}={0,1,3,4}), {1,4,5,8} (yields {0,2,2,4}), {1,4,6,7} (yields {0,2,3,3}), {3,4,5,6} (yields {2,2,2,2}), {2,4,5,7} (yields {1,2,2,3}), {2,3,6,7} (yields {1,1,3,3}), {2,3,5,8} (yields {1,1,2,4}).

%C Appears to be the number of random walks of length 4n, moves +/-1, starting and ending at 0 and with signed area 0 under the path. It would be nice to have a lower bound of the form a(n) > c*2^{4n}/n^d. - David_Mumford(AT)brown.edu, Jun 25 2003

%F a(n) = A029895(2n) = A067059(2n, 2n) = A107110(2n, 2n^2). a(n) seems to be close to (sqrt(75)/Pi)*16^n/(20n^2+6n+1). - _Henry Bottomley_, May 12 2005

%e For a 4 X 4 board (n=2) the 8 partitions are (4,4,0,0), (4,3,1,0), (4,2,1,1), (4,2,2,0), (3,3,2,0), (3,3,1,1), (3,2,2,1), (2,2,2,2).
