COMMENT

Binomial transform of A018224.

If A is a random matrix in the compact group USp(4) (4 X 4 complex are unitary and symplectic), then a(n)=E[(tr(A^4)+1)^n] is the nth central moment of the trace of A^4, since E[tr(A^4)] = -1 (see A018224).

FORMULA

a(n)=(1/2)Integral_{x=0..Pi,y=0..Pi}(2cos(4x)+2cos(4y)+1)^n(2cos(x)-2cos(y))^2(2/Pi*sin^2(x))(2/Pi*sin^2(y))dxdy. a(n)=Sum_{i=0..n}binomial(n,i)A018224(i).

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 1 because E[(tr(A^4)+1)^3] = 1.

a(3) = 1*A018224(0) + 3*A018224(1) + 3*A018224(2) + 1*A018224(1)

= 1*1 + 3*(-1) + 3*4 + 1*(-9) = 1.
