GENERATING METHOD.
The initial terms, k=0..n, of the (4*n)-th power of g.f. A(x) begin:
n=0: [1];
n=4: [1, 4];
n=8: [1, 8, 68];
n=12: [1, 12, 126, 988];
n=16: [1, 16, 200, 1904, 16676];
n=20: [1, 20, 290, 3220, 31735, 279424];
n=24: [1, 24, 396, 5000, 54798, 534456, 4818812];
n=28: [1, 28, 518, 7308, 88137, 941192, 9210936, 83847992];
n=32: [1, 32, 656, 10208, 134280, 1556064, 16416112, 160443680, 1474474468]; ...
from which the antidiagonal sums form this sequence:
a(0) = 1;
a(1) = 1;
a(2) = 1 + 4 = 5;
a(3) = 1 + 8 = 9;
a(4) = 1 + 12 + 68 = 81;
a(5) = 1 + 16 + 126 = 143;
a(6) = 1 + 20 + 200 + 988 = 1209;
a(7) = 1 + 24 + 290 + 1904 = 2219; ...
ALTERNATE GENERATING METHOD.
Define G(x) such that G(x) = A(x*G(x)^4) = ( (1/x)*Series_Reversion(x/A(x)^4) )^(1/4):
G(x) = 1 + x + 9*x^2 + 91*x^3 + 1165*x^4 + 15792*x^5 + 228359*x^6 + 3422766*x^7 + 52855277*x^8 + 834274806*x^9 + 13404201980*x^10 +...
then A(x) = (1 + 4*x^2*G'(x^2)/G(x^2)) / (1 - x*G(x^2)^4).
Note that 1 + 4*x^2*G'(x^2)/G(x^2) begins:
1 + 4*x^2 + 68*x^4 + 988*x^6 + 16676*x^8 + 279424*x^10 + 4818812*x^12 +...
where the coefficients form the main diagonal of the above triangle.
