COMMENTS
a(n) is the number of North-East lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,n) that have exactly three east steps below y = x - 1 and no east steps above y = x+1. Details can be found in Section 4.1 in Pan and Remmel's link.

FORMULA
G.f.: x^4*(5 - 16*x + 13*x^2)/(1 - 2*x)^4.
From Colin Barker, Feb 08 2016: (Start)
a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - 24*a(n-2) + 32*a(n-3) - 16*a(n-4) for n > 6.
a(n) = 2^(n-7)*(n-3)*(n+4)*(n+11)/3 for n > 2. (End)
E.g.f.: (33 + 60*x + 39*x^2 + (-33 + 6*x + 15*x^2 + 2*x^3)*exp(2*x))/96. - G. C. Greubel, May 24 2019
