Domb numbers

DefinitionDomb numbers#✓fully proved

For a natural number \(n\), the Domb number \(\mathrm{Domb}(n)\) is the Domb-type sum \(D(n,2,1,1)\), that is, \(\mathrm{Domb}(n) = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k}^2 \binom{2k}{k} \binom{2(n-k)}{n-k}\) (OEIS A002895).

TheoremExplicit formula for the Domb numbers#✓fully proved

For every natural number \(n\), the Domb number \(\mathrm{Domb}(n)\) equals \(\sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k}^2 \binom{2k}{k} \binom{2(n-k)}{n-k}\).
