COMMENTS

Empirical: Number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,n) using steps (4,0), (0,4), (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 (3,1), (1,3), (1,1).  (End)

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

FORMULA

a(n) = sum(k=0..floor(n/2), binomial(n-2*k, k)*binomial(n-3*k, k) ).
