Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..50
FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n^2-n*k, (n-k)^2) * binomial(n*k, k^2).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (n^2-n*k)! * (n*k)! / ( ((n-k)^2)! * (n*k-k^2)!^2 * (k^2)! ).
a(n) ~ c * 2^(n^2+2)/(Pi*n^2), where c = EllipticTheta[3,0,1/E^2] = 1.271341522189... if n is even and c = EllipticTheta[2,0,1/E^2] = 1.23528676585389... if n is odd. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 22 2013
EXAMPLE
The triangle A228832(n,k) = C(n*k, k^2) illustrates the terms involved in the sum a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A228832(n, n-k) * A228832(n, k):
