In general, we have the binomial identity:
if b(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} t^k * C(2*k, k) * C(n+k, n-k), then b(n)^2 = Sum_{k=0..n} (t^2+t)^k * C(2*k, k)^2 * C(n+k, n-k), where the g.f. of b(n) is 1/sqrt(1 - (4*t+2)*x + x^2), and the g.f. of b(n)^2 is 1 / AGM(1-x, sqrt((1+x)^2 - (4*t+2)^2*x)), where AGM(x,y) = AGM((x+y)/2,sqrt(x*y)) is the arithmetic-geometric mean.
Note that the g.f. of A001850 is 1/sqrt(1 - 6*x + x^2).
Limit_{n -> oo} a(n+1)/a(n) = (3 + 2*sqrt(2))^2 = 17 + 12*sqrt(2).

Diagonal of the rational function 1/(1 - x - y - z - x*y + x*z - y*z - x*y*z).
Annihilating differential operator: x*(x-1)*(x+1)*(x^2-34*x+1)*Dx^2 + (3*x^4-66*x^3-70*x^2+70*x-1)*Dx + x^3-7*x^2-35*x+9.
(End).
The sequence b(n) mentioned above is the sequence of shifted Legendre polynomials P(n,2*t + 1) (see A063007). See Zudilin for a g.f. for the sequence b(n)^2. - Peter Bala, Mar 02 2017

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} 2^k * C(2*k, k)^2 * C(n+k, n-k).
