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: n = 0 gives the central binomial coefficients A000984.
FORMULA
a(n) = 1/3*(64*n^2 + 8*n + 3)*binomial(2*n,n).
O.g.f. cosh(5*arctanh(2*sqrt(x))) = (1 + 40*x + 80*x^2)/(1 - 4*x)^(5/2) = 1 + 50*x + 550*x^2 + 4020*x^3 + ....
Note that the zeros of the polynomial 1 + 40*x^2 + 80*x^4 = 1/2*((1 + 2*x)^5 + (1 - 2*x)^5), are given by 1/2*cot(k*Pi/5)*i for 1 <= k <= 4. See A085840.
O.g.f. for the sequence with interpolated zeros: 1/2*( ((1 + 2*x)/(1 - 2*x))^(5/2) + ((1 - 2*x)/(1 + 2*x))^(5/2) ) = 1 + 50*x^2 + 550*x^4 + 4020*x^6 + ....
MAPLE
seq(1/3*(64*n^2 + 8*n + 3)*binomial(2*n, n), n = 0..20);
