%N Number of domino tilings of the order n Aztec diamond which are centrally symmetric.

%H Bo-Yin Yang, <a href="https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/13937">Two Enumeration Problems about the Aztec Diamonds</a>, MIT, 1991.

%F Let H_j(n) = Product_{1<=k<n/j} (n-j*k)!.

%F For n>=1, we have [see Bo-Yin Yang, Thm. 4.1]:

%F a(2*n) = 2^n * a(2*n-1);

%F a(4*n-1) = 2^(2*n^2-2*n+1)*H(4,4*n+3)*H(4,4*n-1)*(H(1,n)*H(1,n-1))^2/(H(2,2*n-1)*H(2,2*n+1))^3;

%F a(4*n+1) = 2^(2*n^2+1)*H(4,4*n+3)^2*H(1,n)^4/H(2,2*n+1)^6.

%Y Cf. A006125, A005158.

%K nonn
