Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} C(n, k)^2*(1-(-1)^k)/2.

a(n) = C(2n-1, n-1)(1-(-1)^n)/2+(C(2n, n)/2-(-1)^(n/2)*C(n, floor(n/2))/2)(1+(-1)^n)/2.

a(n) = (binomial(2*n, n) - binomial(n, n/2)*cos(Pi*n/2))/2 = n^2 * hypergeom([1/2-n/2, 1/2-n/2, 1-n/2, 1-n/2], [1, 3/2, 3/2], 1). - Vladimir Reshetnikov, Oct 04 2016
