G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..350
FORMULA
a(n) = ( Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} 4^(n-2*k)/2^k * n!/((n-2*k)!*k!) )^2.
a(n) ~ n^n*exp(8*sqrt(n)-8-n)/2 * (1+22/(3*sqrt(n))). - Vaclav Kotesovec, May 23 2013
D-finite with recurrence: a(n) = (n+15)*a(n-1) + (n-1)*(n+15)*a(n-2) - (n-1)*(n-2)^2*a(n-3). - Vaclav Kotesovec, May 23 2013
EXAMPLE
E.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + 16*x + 289*x^2/2! + 5776*x^3/3! + 126025*x^4/4! + ...
where A(x) = 1 + 4^2*x + 17^2*x^2/2! + 76^2*x^3/3! + 355^2*x^4/4! + 1724^2*x^5/5! + ... + A202879(n)^2*x^n/n! + ...
