COMMENTS

Number of parallelogram polyominoes having n+1 columns and n+1 rows. - Emeric Deutsch, May 21 2003
Number of tilings of an <n,2,n> hexagon.
a(n) is the number of non-crossing partitions of [2n+1] into n+1 blocks. For example, a[1] counts 13-2, 1-23, 12-3. - David Callan, Jul 25 2005
The number of returning walks of length 2n on the upper half of a square lattice, since a(n) = Sum_{k=0..2n} binomial(2n,k)*A126120(k)*A126869(n-k). - Andrew V. Sutherland, Mar 24 2008
For sequences counting walks in the upper half-plane starting from the origin and finishing at the lattice points (0,m) see A145600 (m = 1), A145601 (m = 2), A145602 (m = 3) and A145603 (m = 4). - Peter Bala, Oct 14 2008
The number of proper mergings of two n-chains. - Henri Mühle, Aug 17 2012
a(n) is number of pairs of non-intersecting lattice paths from (0,0) to (n+1,n+1) using (1,0) and (0,1) as steps. Here, non-intersecting means two paths do not share a vertex except the origin and the destination. For example, a(1) = 3 because we have three such pairs from (0,0) to (2,2): {NNEE,EENN}, {NNEE,ENEN}, {NENE,EENN}. - Ran Pan, Oct 01 2015
Also the number of ordered rooted trees with 2(n+1) nodes and n+1 leaves, i.e., half of the nodes are leaves. These trees are ranked by A358579. The unordered version is A185650. - Gus Wiseman, Nov 27 2022

FORMULA

G.f.: (1 - E(16*x)/(Pi/2))/(4*x) where E() is the elliptic integral of the second kind. [edited by Olivier Gérard, Feb 16 2011]
G.f.: 3F2(1, 1/2, 3/2; 2,2; 16*x)= (1 - 2F1(-1/2, 1/2; 1; 16*x)) / (4*x). - Olivier Gérard, Feb 16 2011
E.g.f.: Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^(2*n)/(2*n)! = BesselI(0, 2*x) * BesselI(1, 2*x) / x. - Michael Somos, Jun 22 2005
a(n) = A001263(2*n+1,n+1) = binomial(2*n+1,n+1)*binomial(2*n+1,n)/(2*n+1) (central members of odd numbered rows of Narayana triangle).
G.f.: If G_N(x) = 1 + Sum_{k=1..N} ((2*k)!*(2*k+1)!*x^k)/(k!*(k+1)!)^2, G_N(x) = 1 + 12*x/(G(0) - 12*x); G(k) = 16*x*k^2 + 32*x*k + k^2 + 4*k + 12*x + 4 - 4*x*(2*k+3)*(2*k+5)*(k+2)^2/G(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 24 2011
D-finite with recurrence (n+1)^2*a(n) - 4*(2*n-1)*(2*n+1)*a(n-1) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Dec 03 2012
E.g.f.: 2F2(1/2,3/2; 2,2; 16*x).
a(n) ~ 2^(4*n+1)/(Pi*n^2). (End)
a(n) = det(M(n)) where M(n) is the n X n matrix with m(i,j) = binomial(n+j+1,i+1). - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 22 2022
a(n) = Integral_{x=0..16} x^n*W(x) dx, where W(x) = (16*EllipticE(1 - x/16) - x*EllipticK(1 - x/16))/(8*Pi^2*sqrt(x)), n=>0. W(x) diverges at x=0, monotonically decreases for x>0, and vanishes at x=16. EllipticE and EllipticK are elliptic functions. This integral representation as n-th moment of a positive function W(x) on the interval [0, 16] is unique. - Karol A. Penson, Dec 20 2023
