Formula
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)^2*k*2^k for n >= 1.
a(n) = n*(D(n,n-1) + D(n-1,n-1)) = n*(D(n,n) - D(n-1,n)) for n >= 1, where D(i,j) = A008288(i,j) are the Delannoy numbers.
a(n) = 2*A108666(n) for n >= 1.
From Alois P. Heinz, Mar 22 2023: (Start)
G.f.: 1 + 2*(1-x)*x/sqrt(x^2-6*x+1)^3.
a(n) = n*A002003(n) for n >= 1.
a(n) = 2*n*A047781(n) for n >= 1. (End)
a(n) = 2*n^2*hypergeom([1 - n, 1 - n], [2], 1) for n >= 1. - Peter Luschny, Mar 22 2023
