COMMENT

4^n binom[2n,n] counts walks of 2n steps North, East, South or West that start at the origin and end on the line y=x. For example, a(1)=8 counts EW, EN, NE, NS, WE, WS, SN, SW. If the walk has i East and j North steps, then it must have n-j West and n-i South steps. There are Multinomial[i,j,n-j,n-i] ways to arrange these steps and summing over i and j gives the result. - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Oct 11 2005
