Comments

Note that the function cosh(2*n*arctanh(sqrt(x)) is the o.g.f. for the coordination sequence of the C_n lattice. See, for example, A010006.

In A285043 through A285046 we consider sequences with o.g.f. cosh((2*n+1)*arctanh(2*sqrt(x)) for n = 1, 2, 3 and 4. For n = 0 we get the central binomial coefficients A000984.

Formula

a(n) = (8*n + 1)*binomial(2*n,n).

O.g.f. cosh(3*arctanh(2*sqrt(x))) = (1 + 12*x)/(1 - 4*x)^(3/2) = 1 + 18*x + 102*x^2 + 500*x^3 + ....

D-finite with recurrence: n*a(n) +2*(4*n-13)*a(n-1) +24*(-2*n+3)*a(n-2)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 22 2020
