A081623 Number of ways in which the points on an n X n square lattice can be equally occupied with spin "up" and spin "down" particles. If n is odd, we arbitrarily take the lattice to contain one more spin "up" particle than the number of spin "down" particles. 0

FORMULA

a(n) = C(n^2, (n^2+1)/2) if n is odd and C(n^2, n^2/2) if n is even

EXAMPLE

a(2)=6 because C(4,2)=6

a(3)=126 because C(9,5)=126

PROG

(Mathcad or Microsoft Excel): f(n)=combin(n^2, trunc((n^2+1)/2))
