Comments

In general, we have the binomial identity:

if b(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} t^k * C(2*k, k) * C(n+k, n-k),

then b(n)^2 = Sum_{k=0..n} (t^2+t)^k * C(2*k, k)^2 * C(n+k, n-k),

where the g.f. of b(n) is 1/sqrt(1 - (4*t+2)*x + x^2),

and the g.f. of b(n)^2 is 1 / AGM(1-x, sqrt((1+x)^2 - (4*t+2)^2*x)), where AGM(x,y) = AGM((x+y)/2,sqrt(x*y)) is the arithmetic-geometric mean.

Note that the g.f. of A006442 is 1/sqrt(1 - 10*x + x^2).

Limit_{n -> oo} a(n+1)/a(n) = (5 + 2*sqrt(6))^2 = 49 + 20*sqrt(6).
