%N Number of n-moves paths of a king starting and ending at the origin of an infinite chessboard.

%C The chessboard here is the full four-quadrant board Z X Z.

%C This is an analog of A054474 for walks on a square grid where the steps can be made diagonally as well.

%C a(n) is the constant term in the expansion of ((x + 1/x) * (y + 1/y) + x^2 + 1/x^2 + y^2 + 1/y^2)^n. - _Seiichi Manyama_, Nov 03 2019

%F From _Peter Bala_, Feb 08 2022: (Start)

%F The Gauss congruences a(n*p^k) == a(n*p^(k-1)) (mod p^k) hold for all primes p and positive integers n and k.

%F Conjecture: the stronger congruences a(n*p^k) == a(n*p^(k-1)) (mod p^(2*k)) hold for all primes p >= 5 and positive integers n and k. (End)

%F a(n) = Sum_{j = 0..n} Sum_{k = 0..j} binomial(2*j,j)^2*binomial(j,k)* binomial(n+j-k,2*j)*(-4)^(n-j-k). - _Peter Bala_, Mar 19 2022
