a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (C(2 * (n-k), n-k) * C(2 * k, k))^2. [corrected by Tito Piezas III, Oct 19 2010]
a(n) = hypergeom([1/2, 1/2, -n, -n], [1, 1/2-n, 1/2-n], 1) * 4^n * (2n-1)!!^2 / n!^2. - Vladimir Reshetnikov, Mar 08 2014
a(n) ~ 2^(4*n+1) * log(n) / (n*Pi^2) * (1 + (4*log(2) + gamma)/log(n)), where gamma is the Euler-Mascheroni constant A001620. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 28 2015
G.f. y=A(x) satisfies: 0 = x^2*(16*x - 1)^2*y''' + 3*x*(16*x - 1)*(32*x - 1)*y'' + (1792*x^2 - 112*x + 1)*y' + 8*(32*x - 1)*y. - Gheorghe Coserea, Jul 03 2018
It appears that a(n) is equal to the coefficient of (x*y*z*t)^n in the expansion of (1+x+y+z-t)^n * (1+x+y-z+t)^n * (1+x-y+z+t)^n * (1-x+y+z+t)^n. Cf. A000172. - Peter Bala, Sep 21 2021
G.f. y = A(x) satisfies 0 = x*(1 - 16*x)*(2*y''*y - y'*y') + 2*(1 - 32*x)*y*y' - 16*y*y. - Michael Somos, May 29 2023
Expansion of theta_3(0, q)^4 in powers of m/16 where the modulus m = k^2. - Michael Somos, May 30 2023
