%H Vincenzo Librandi, <a href="/A088536/b088536.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..200</a>

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} binomial(2k+n-1,2k).

%F Recurrence: 36*n*(2*n-3)*a(n) = 2*(269*n^2-549*n+235)*a(n-1) - (359*n^2-1062*n+907)*a(n-2) + 6*(3*n-8)*(3*n-7)*a(n-3). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Oct 14 2012

%F a(n) ~ 27^n/(5*2^(2*n-1)*sqrt(3*Pi*n)). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Oct 14 2012

%F It appears that a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..2*n-2} (-1)^k*binomial(n+k,k). - _Peter Bala_, Oct 08 2021
