COMMENTS
Number of paths in the right half-plane from (0,0) to (n,0) consisting of steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), h=(1,0) and H=(2,0). Example: a(3)=9 because we have hhh, hH, Hh, hUD, hDU, UhD, DhU, UDh and DUh. The number of such paths restricted to the first quadrant is given in A128720. - Emeric Deutsch, Sep 03 2007
Number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,n) using steps (1,0), (1,1), (1,2), (2,2). - Joerg Arndt, Jun 30 2011
Other two columns of the triangle in A059317 are given in A106053 and A106050. - Emeric Deutsch, Sep 03 2007

D-finite with recurrence: (n+1)*a(n+1)=(2*n+1)*a(n)+5*n*a(n-1)-(2*n-1)*a(n-2)-(n-1)*a(n-3). - Emeric Deutsch, Sep 03 2007
a(n) = sum{k=0..floor(n/2), C(n-k,k)*A002426(n-2k)}. - Paul Barry, Nov 29 2008
G.f.: A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} (2*n)!/(n!)^2 * x^(2n)/(1-x-x^2)^(2n+1). - Paul D. Hanna, Oct 29 2010
a(n) ~ sqrt((3+11/sqrt(13))/8) * ((3+sqrt(13))/2)^n/sqrt(Pi*n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 11 2013
