COMMENTS

From Joerg Arndt, Jul 01 2011:  (Start)

Empirical: Number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,n) using steps (3,0), (0,3), (1,1).

It appears that 1/sqrt((1-x)^2-4*x^s) is the g.f. for lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,n) using steps (s,0), (0,s), (1,1).

Empirical: Number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,n) using steps (1,2), (2,1), (1,1).  (End)

1/sqrt((1-x)^2-4*r*x^3) expands to sum{k=0..floor(n/2), binomial(n-k,k)*binomial(n-2*k,k)*r^k}

Hankel transform is A120580. [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 19 2008]

FORMULA

a(n) = sum(k=0..floor(n/2), binomial(n-k, k)*binomial(n-2*k, k) ).
