FORMULA
a(n) = A005190(2*n) = A008287(2*n, 3*n).
G.f.: Let Z(x) be a solution of (-1+16*x)*(32*x-27)^2*Z^6+9*(-9+64*x)*(32*x-27)*Z^4+81*(80*x-27)*Z^2+729 = 0, with Z(0)=1. Compute a Puiseux series for Z(x) at x=0, then Z(x) in C[[x^(1/3)]]. Remove all non-integer powers of x. The result is the generating function for A005721. - Mark van Hoeij, Oct 29 2011
G.f.: F(G^(-1)(x)) where F(t) = (t^2-1)*(6*t+t^2+1)^(1/2)/(3*t^3+13*t^2+t-1) and G(t) = t/((t+1)^2*(6*t+t^2+1)). - Mark van Hoeij, Oct 30 2011
From Bradley Klee, Jun 25 2018: (Start)
128*(n-1)*(2*n-3)*(2*n-1)*(5*n-1)*a(n-2) - 8*(2*n-1)*(145*n^3-319*n^2+201*n-30)*a(n-1) + 3*n*(3*n-2)*(3*n-1)*(5*n-6)*a(n) = 0.
G.f. G(x) satisfies a Picard-Fuchs type differential equation, 0 = Sum_{m=0..5, n=0..3} M_{m,n} x^m*(d^n/dx^n G(x)), with integer matrix:
M={{ 24, -6, 0, 0},
{-768, 1488, -54, 0},
{6144, -16128, 2520, -27},
{ 0, 55296, -29568, 896},
{ 0, 0, 49152, -7936},
{ 0, 0, 0, 8192}}(End)
a(n) = sum_{k=0..floor(3n/4)} (-1)^k binomial(2n,k) * binomial(5n-4k-1,3n-4k). - Muniru A Asiru, Sep 26 2018
a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n} Sum_{j=n..2n}(f); f= ( (2*n)!/((j - n)!*(3*n + i - 2*j)!*(j - 2*i)!*i!) ); f=0 for (3*n + i - 2*j)<0 or (j - 2*i)<0. See also formula in Links section. - Zagros Lalo, Sep 27 2018
