COMMENTS

Central coefficient of (1+4x+6x^2)^n. Fourth binomial transform of 1/sqrt(1-24x^2). In general, 1/sqrt(1-4*r*x-4*r*x^2) has e.g.f. exp(2rx)BesselI(0,2r*sqrt((r+1)/r)x)), a(n)=sum{k=0..n, C(2k,k)C(k,n-k)r^k}, gives the central coefficient of (1+(2r)x+r(r+1)x^2) and is the (2r)-th binomial transform of 1/sqrt(1-8*C(n+1,2)x^2).

Also number of paths from (0,0) to (n,0) using steps U=(1,1), H=(1,0) and D=(1,-1), the H steps can have 4 colors and the U steps can have 6 colors. - Nour-Eddine Fahssi (fahssin(AT)yahoo.fr), Mar 31 2008

FORMULA
