FORMULA
|
a(n) = 2^(n-1)*det(binomial(2n-2i-2j, n-2i))_{i,j=1..floor(n/2)}.
Let M_n be the n X n matrix M_n(i, j) = binomial(2*i+2*j-2, 2*i-1) = A103328(i+j-1, i-1); then a(2*n+1) = 2^(2*n)*det(M_n).
Let M_n be the n X n matrix M_n(i,j) = binomial(2*i+2*j-4, 2*i-2) = A086645(i+j-2, i-1); then a(2*n) = 2^(2*n-1)*det(M_n).

EXAMPLE
|
For n = 4 we have a(4) = 2^3*det({6,1},{1,1}) = 2^3*(6-1) = 40.
