Main diagonal of the square array given in A132439.
Recurrence relation: a_1=1; a_2=3; a_3=22; a_4=188; a_n=((29n-47)a_{n-1}+(-95n+238)a_{n-2}+(116n-418)a_{n-3}+(-48n+240)a_{n-4})/(2n-2), n >= 5. - Martin J. Erickson (erickson(AT)truman.edu), Nov 20 2007

FORMULA
|
G.f.: (x(x-1)/(3x-2))(1+(1-x)/sqrt(1-12x+16x^2)). a(n) is asymptotic to (5^(3/4)(sqrt(5)-2)/16)(6+2sqrt(5))^n/(sqrt(pi n).
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(2) = 3 since the paths from (1,1) to (2,2) are
(1,1)->(2,1)->(2,2),
(1,1)->(1,2)->(2,2),
(1,1)->(2,2).
