%N Expansion of (1+x*C)*C^4, where C = (1-(1-4*x)^(1/2))/(2*x) is g.f. for Catalan numbers, A000108.
%C If a zero is added in front, the sequence represents the Catalan transform of the squares A000290. [_R. J. Mathar_, Nov 06 2008]
%C a(n) is the number of North-East paths from (0,0) to (n+2,n+2) that cross y = x vertically exactly once and do not bounce off y = x to the right. Details can be found in Section 4.4 in Pan and Remmel's link. - _Ran Pan_, Feb 01 2016
