Number of Delannoy paths from (0,0) to (n,n) with steps U(0,1), H(1,0) and D(1,1) where H and D can choose from two colors each (or where one step is monochrome and the other two are bicolored). - Paul Barry, May 30 2005
2^n*P_n(3), where P_n is the n-th Legendre polynomial. 2^n*LegendreP(n,k) yields the central coefficients of (1 + 2*k*x + (k^2-1)*x^2)^n, with g.f. 1/sqrt(1 -4*k*x +4*x^2) and e.g.f. exp(2*k*x)*BesselI(0, 2*sqrt(k^2-1)*x). - Paul Barry, May 30 2005

FORMULA
a(n) = 2*A052141(n) = 2^n * A001850(n), n>0.
From Paul Barry, May 30 2005: (Start)
E.g.f.: exp(6*x)*Bessel_I(0, 2*sqrt(8)*x).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} C(n, k)*C(2(n-k), n)*(-1)^k*3^(n-2*k). (End)
D-finite with recurrence: n*a(n) + 6*(-2*n+1)*a(n-1) + 4*(n-1)*a(n-2) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 30 2012
G.f.: G(0)/2, where G(k) = 1 + 1/( 1 - x*(6-2*x)*(2*k+1)/(x*(6-2*x)*(2*k+1) + (k+1)/G(k+1) )); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jul 17 2013
a(n) = 2^n*hyper2F1(-n, -n, 1, 2). - Peter Luschny, May 20 2015
a(n) = A059474(n,n). - Alois P. Heinz, Oct 05 2017
a(n) ~ 2^(n - 5/4) * (1 + sqrt(2))^(2*n + 1) / sqrt(Pi*n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 11 2018
EXAMPLE
G.f.: 1/sqrt(1-2*b*x+(b^2-4*c)*x^2) yields central coefficients of (1+b*x+c*x^2)^n.
