FORMULA
a(n) = binomial(n+4, 4)*A000984(n+4)/A000984(4), where A000984 are the central binomial coefficients. - Wolfdieter Lang
a(n) = Sum_{ a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i=n} f(a)*f(b)*f(c)*f(d)*f(e)*f(f)*f(g) *f(h)*f(i) with f(n)=A000984(n). - Philippe Deléham, Jan 22 2004
a(n) = A000332(n+4)*A000984(n+4)/70. - Zerinvary Lajos, May 05 2007
From Rui Duarte, Oct 08 2011: (Start)
a(n) = ((2n+7)(2n+5)(2n+3)(2n+1)/(7*5*3*1)) * binomial(2n, n).
a(n) = binomial(2n+8, 8) * binomial(2n, n) / binomial(n+4, 4).
a(n) = binomial(n+4, 4) * binomial(2n+8, n+4) / binomial(8, 4). (End)
Boas-Buck recurrence: a(n) = (18/n)*Sum_{k=0..n-1} 4^(n-k-1)*a(k), n >= 1, a(0) = 1. Proof from a(n) = A046521(n+4, 4). See a comment there.
From Amiram Eldar, Mar 25 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 1148/5 - 42*sqrt(3)*Pi.
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = 700*sqrt(5)*log(phi) - 11284/15, where phi is the golden ratio (A001622). (End)
