Admissible paths through a grid

Problem 408

Published on 29 December 2012 at 01:00 pm [Server Time]

Let's call a lattice point (x, y) inadmissible if x, y and x + y are all positive perfect squares.
For example, (9, 16) is inadmissible, while (0, 4), (3, 1) and (9, 4) are not.

Consider a path from point (x1, y1) to point (x2, y2) using only unit steps north or east.
Let's call such a path admissible if none of its intermediate points are inadmissible.

Let P(n) be the number of admissible paths from (0, 0) to (n, n).
It can be verified that P(5) = 252, P(16) = 596994440 and P(1000) mod 1 000 000 007 = 341920854.

Find P(10 000 000) mod 1 000 000 007.
