FORMULA
a(n) = binomial(2*n, n) * Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n, 2*k)*binomial(2*k, k).
Logarithmic derivative of A216585, after ignoring initial term a(0).
a(n) = [x^n*y^n] ( 1 + (x + y)^2 + (x + y)^4 )^n. - Peter Bala, Feb 17 2020
EXAMPLE
L.g.f.: L(x) = 2*x + 18*x^2/2 + 140*x^3/3 + 1330*x^4/4 + 12852*x^5/5 + 130284*x^6/6 + ...
where
exp(L(x)) = 1 + 2*x + 11*x^2 + 66*x^3 + 485*x^4 + 3842*x^5 + 32712*x^6 + ... + A216585(n)*x^n/n + ...
