Define Q(n,x)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), binomial(n,k)binomial(2(n-k),n)x^(n-2k)}. Then a(n)=4^n*Q(n,1/4). Central coefficients of (1+2x+17x^2)^n.

Formula

E.g.f.: exp(2x)*BesselI(0, 2*sqrt(17)*x).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n, k)*binomial(2(n-k), n)*16^k.

D-finite with recurrence: n*a(n) +2*(1-2*n)*a(n-1) +64*(1-n)*a(n-2)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Sep 26 2012

a(n) ~ sqrt(578+34*sqrt(17))*(2+2*sqrt(17))^n/(34*sqrt(Pi*n)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 15 2012
