%C Simpler definition from _N. J. A. Sloane_, Jan 21 2009. Colin Mallows and I studied this sequence on Feb 21 1981 in connection with integration over a regular (solid) hexagon.

%C Hankel transform is A137717. - _Paul Barry_, Apr 26 2009

%F a(n) = C(2n,n) * sum_{k=0..2n} trinomial(n,k)/C(2n,k) where trinomial(n,k) = [x^k] (1 + x + x^2)^n, where [x^k] denotes "coefficient of x^k in ...".

%F G.f.: A(x) = 1/sqrt(1 - 10*x + 33*x^2 - 36*x^3).

%F a(n) = sum_{k=0..2n} trinomial(n,k) * k!*(2*n-k)! / (n!)^2.
