FORMULA
a(n) = (1/128)*n*(21*n^5 + 61*n^4 + 55*n^3 + 15*n^2 - 28*n + 4)*4^n - (1/48)*n^2*(n-1)^2*(3*n-5)*(n^2 + 4*n - 6)*binomial(2*n, n)/((2*n-1)*(2*n-3)). (See Wang and Zhang, p. 338)
From G. C. Greubel, May 25 2022: (Start)
a(n) = (1/2)*(n*(21*n^5 + 61*n^4 + 55*n^3 + 15*n^2 - 28*n + 4)*4^(n-3) - (n-1)*(3*n-5)*(n^2 + 4*n - 6)*binomial(n+1, 3)*Catalan(n-2)).
G.f.: x*( 4*(1 + 103*x + 1012*x^2 + 1688*x^3 + 512*x^4 - 256*x^5) - 3*x*(1 + 54*x + 26*x^2 - 156*x^3 - 104*x^4 + 320*x^5 -240*x^6)*sqrt(1-4*x) )/(1-4*x)^7. (End)
