Formula

4*a(n) = ( (n+sqrt(n^2-1))^(2*n) - (n-sqrt(n^2-1))^(2*n) )^2. - Artur Jasinski, Feb 17 2010

From Seiichi Manyama, Jan 05 2019: (Start)

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

For n > 0, a(n) = (n^2-1) * U_{2*n-1}(n)^2 where U_{n}(x) is a Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind. (End)

a(n) ~ 2^(4*n - 2) * n^(4*n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 05 2019
