Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(2*n,k) * binomial(4*n-k,n-2*k).

The g.f. exp( Sum_{k>=1} a(k) * x^k/k ) has integer coefficients and equals (1/x) * Series_Reversion( x / ((1+x)^2 * (1+x+x^2)^2) ). See A369478.

Mathematica

a[n_]:=SeriesCoefficient[((1+x)^2*(1+x+x^2)^2)^n, {x, 0, n}]; Array[a, 21, 0] (* Stefano Spezia, Apr 30 2024 *)

Prog

(PARI) a(n, s=2, t=2, u=2) = sum(k=0, n\s, binomial(t*n, k)*binomial((t+u)*n-k, n-s*k));
