FORMULA

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

From G. C. Greubel, Mar 31 2021: (Start)

a(n) = 8 * binomial(n+1, 2)^2 * C(n)^2, where C(n) = A000108(n) (Catalan numbers).

G.f.: 8*x*Hypergeometric2F1([3/2, 3/2], [1], 16*x) = (16/pi)*(x/(1-16*x)^2)*( 2*E(16*x) - (1-16*x)*K(16*x) ), where E(x) and K(x) are elliptic functions. (End)

D-finite with recurrence (n-1)^2*a(n) +(n^2-52*n+64)*a(n-1) -68*(2*n -3)^2*a(n-2)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Feb 27 2023
