COMMENT

4 times variance of the area under an n step random walk: e.g. with three steps, area can be 9/2, 7/2, 3/2, 1/2, -1/2, -3/2, -7/2, or -9/2 each with probability 1/8, giving a variance of 35/4 or a(3)/4. - Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), Jul 14 2003
Number of standard tableaux of shape (2n-1,1,1,1) (n>=1). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), May 30 2004
Also a(n)=(1/6)*(8*n^3-2*n), n>0: structured octagonal diamond numbers (vertex structure 9) (Cf. A059722 = alternate vertex; A000447 = structured diamonds); and structured tetragonal anti-diamond numbers (vertex structure 9) (Cf. A096000 = alternate vertex; A100188 = structured anti-diamonds). Cf. A100145 for more on structured numbers. - James A. Record (james.record(AT)gmail.com), Nov. 7, 2004.

FORMULA

a(n)=binomial(2*n+1, 3)=A000292(2*(n-1))
G.f.: x(1+6x+x^2)/(1-x)^4. a(-n)=-a(n).
a(n) = A000330(2n)-4*A000330(n) = A000466(n)*n/3 = A000578(n)+A007290(n-2) = A000583(n)-2*A024196(n-1) = A035328(n)/3. - Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), Jul 14 2003
