{a(n)=sum(k=0,n,binomial(2*k+2,k)*binomial(2*k+2,n-k))} /* Using the g.f.: */ {a(n)=local(R=1/sqrt(1-4*x*(1+x +x*O(x^n))^2), G=(1-sqrt(1-4*x*(1+x)^2+x^2*O(x^n)))/(2*x*(1+x+x*O(x^n)))); polcoeff(R*G^2,n,x)}

Formula

G.f.: A(x) = R(x)*G(x)^2, where R(x) = 1/sqrt(1-4*x*(1+x)^2) is the g.f. of A137635 and G(x) = (1-sqrt(1-4*x*(1+x)^2))/(2*x*(1+x)) is the g.f. of A073157.
