COMMENTS

a(n) = T(2*n,2*n), the coefficient of x^(2*n) in (1+x+x^2)^(2*n), where T is the trinomial triangle A027907; Integral representation : a(n) = 1/Pi * Integral[(1+2*x)^(2*n)/Sqrt[1-x^2],{x,-1, 1}], i.e. a(n) is the moment of order 2n of the random variable 1+2X, where the distribution of X is an arcsin law on the interval (-1,1). - N-E.

FORMULA

a(n) = sum(k=0..2n+1, T(n, k)^2), where T(n, k) are trinomial coefficients (A027907).

a(n) = sum(k=0..n, binomial(2*n-k, k)*binomial(2*n, k)). - Benoit Cloitre, Jul 30 2003

G.f.: (1/sqrt(1+2*x-3*x^2)+1/sqrt(1-2*x-3*x^2))/2 (with interpolated zeros) - Paul Barry, Jan 04 2005

a(n) = sum(k=0..n, C(2*n,2*k)*C(2*k,k)) = sum(k=0..n, C(n+k,2k)*C(2*n,n+k)). [Paul Barry, Dec 16 2008]

a(n) = sum(k=0..n, binomial(n,k)^2*binomial(2*n,n)/binomial(2*k,k)). - Paul D. Hanna, Sep 29 2012

Recurrence: n*(2*n-1)*a(n) = (14*n^2+n-12)*a(n-1) + 3*(14*n^2-71*n+78)*a(n-2) - 27*(n-2)*(2*n-5)*a(n-3). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 14 2012

a(n) ~ 3^(2*n+1/2)/(2*sqrt(2*Pi*n)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 14 2012
