FORMULA

a(n) = sum(k=1..n, k*binomial(n, k)*binomial(2*n-k, n) ).

G.f.: z*(1-z)/(1-6*z+z^2)^(3/2).

Recurrence: (n-1)*(2*n-3)*a(n) = 4*(3*n^2-6*n+2)*a(n-1) - (n-1)*(2*n-1)*a(n-2). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 18 2012

a(n) ~ (3+2*sqrt(2))^n*sqrt(n)/(2^(7/4)*sqrt(Pi)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 18 2012

EXAMPLE

a(2)=8 because in the 13 (=A001850(2)) Delannoy paths of length 2, namely, DD, DNE,DEN,NED,END,NDE,EDN,NENE,NEEN,ENNE,ENEN,NNEE and EENN, we have a total of eight D steps.

MAPLE

a:=n->sum(k*binomial(n, k)*binomial(2*n-k, n), k=1..n): seq(a(n), n=0..24);
