FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{j = 0..n} C(n, j)*(C(n - j, j + n/2 - 1/4 + (-1)^n/4) - C(n - j, j + n/2 + 7/4 + (-1)^n/4).
a(n) = A064189(n, floor(n/2)), the middle column of the Motzkin triangle.
a(n) = A026300(n, ceiling(n/2)).
MAPLE
alias(C=binomial):
a := n -> add(C(n, j)*(C(n - j, j + n/2 - 1/4 + (-1)^n/4) - C(n - j, j + n/2 + 7/4 + (-1)^n/4)), j = 0..n): seq(a(n), n = 0..32);
