Mathematica gives the wrong answer to the following sum,
In[1]:= Sum[Binomial[n, k]/Binomial[2 n, k]/k! (2 x)^k, {k, 0, n}]
Out[1]= 2^(-(1/2) - n) E^x x^(1/2 + n)
BesselI[1/2 (-1 - 2 n), x] Gamma[1/2 - n]
The correct answer is 1 for n=0 and Hypergeometric1F1[-n, -2 n, 2 x] for
integer n>0, which would be equal to the expression given by Mathematica if
n was not a positive integer.
Another form of the correct answer is
(2 x)^(n+1/2) E^x BesselK[n+1/2,x] n!/(2 n)!/Sqrt[Pi]
Is there a way to apply some assumptions to get the correct answer?
