COMMENTS
Binomial transform is A014915. In general, ((1+x)/(1-r*x))^2 expands to a(n) = ((r+1)*r^n*((r+1)*n + r - 1) + 0^n)/r^2, which is also a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} C(n,k)*Sum_{j=0..k} (j+1)*(r+1)^j. This is the self-convolution of the coordination sequence for the infinite tree with valency r.
FORMULA
G.f.: (1+x)^2/(1-2x)^2;
a(n) = 3*2^n(3n+1)/4 + 0^n/4;
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A003945(k)*A003945(n-k);
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} C(n, k)*Sum_{j=0..k} (j+1)*3^j.
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 4*a(n-2); a(0)=1, a(1)=6, a(2)=21. - Harvey P. Dale, May 20 2011
