Jun Wang and Zhizheng Zhang, On extensions of Calkin's binomial identities, Discrete Math., 274 (2004), 331-342.

Formula

a(n) = (1/8)*(n*(3*n+5)*4^n - 2*n*(n-1)*binomial(2*n, n)). (see Wang and Zhang, p. 338)

From G. C. Greubel, May 25 2022: (Start)

a(n) = (1/2)*( n*(3*n+5)*4^(n-1) - 3*binomial(n+1, 3)*Catalan(n) ).

G.f.: x*(4*(1-x) - 3*x*sqrt(1-4*x))/(1-4*x)^3.

E.g.f.: 2*x*(2 + 3*x)*exp(4*x) - (x^2/2)*(3*BesselI(0, 2*x) + 4*BesselI(1, 2*x) + BesselI(2, 2*x))*exp(2*x)). (End)
