COMMENTS

Also equals row squared sums of triangle A132460 and so equals the sum of the initial [n/2]+1 squared terms of 1/C(x)^n where C(x) is the g.f. of the Catalan numbers (A000108).

FORMULA

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..[n/2]} ( C(n-k,k) + C(n-k-1,k-1) )^2 .

PROG

(PARI) {a(n)=sum(k=0, n\2, (binomial(n-k, k)+binomial(n-k-1, k-1))^2)} (PARI) /* squared sums of negative powers of Catalan series: */ {a(n)=local(Catalan=2/(1+sqrt(1-4*x +x*O(x^n)))); sum(k=0, n\2, polcoeff(Catalan^-n, k)^2)}

CROSSREFS

Cf. A034807 (Lucas polynomials); A132460, A132459; A000108 (Catalan).

Sequence in context: A001157 A002800 A132174 * A087746 A064694 A067622
