COMMENTS
The irregular triangle of trinomial coefficients is given in A027907. There the Comtet reference is given.

FORMULA
a(n) = A027907(2*n+1, 4), n >= 0. a(n) = A027907(2*n+1, 2*(2*n-1)), for n >= 1 (symmetry).
a(n) = binomial(2*n+1, 2) + (2*n+1)*binomial(2*n, 2) + binomial(2*n+1, 4) (from the trinomial definition) = (1/6)*n*(2*n + 1)*(2*n^2 + 9*n + 1).
G.f.: x*(6 + 15*x - 4*x^2 - x^3)/(1 - x)^5.
a(n) = (1/Pi)*Integral_{x=0..2} (1/sqrt(4 - x^2))*(x^2 - 1)^(2*n+1)*R(2*(2*n-3), x), n >= 0, with the R polynomial coefficients given in A127672. Note that R(-n, x) = R(n, x). [Comtet, p. 77, the integral formula for q=3, n -> 2*n+1, k = 4, rewritten with x = 2*cos(phi)].
