COMMENTS

Same as Pisot sequences E(1,4), L(1,4), P(1,4), T(1,4). See A008776 for definitions of Pisot sequences.

The convolution square root of this sequence is A000984, the central binomial coefficients: C(2n,n). - T. D. Noe, Jun 11 2002

a(n)=sum(k=0,n,C(2k,k)*C(2(n-k),n-k)). - Benoit Cloitre, Jan 26 2003

With p(n) = the number of integer partitions of n, p(i) = the number of parts of the i-th partition of n, d(i) = the number of different parts of the i-th partition of n, m(i,j) = multiplicity of the j-th part of the i-th partition of n, sum_{i=1}^{p(n)} = sum over i and prod_{j=1}^{d(i)} = product over j one has: a(n)=sum_{i=1}^{p(n)} p(i)!/(prod_{j=1}^{d(i)} m(i,j)!) * 2^(n-1) - Thomas Wieder, May 18 2005

Sums of rows of the triangle in A122366. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Aug 30 2006

A000005(a(n)) = A005408(n+1). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 04 2007

Hankel transform of A076035. [From Philippe DELEHAM, Feb 28 2009]

Equals the Catalan sequence: (1, 1, 2, 5, 14,...), convolved with A032443: (1, 3, 11, 42,...). [From Gary W. Adamson, May 15 2009]

a(n) = A188915(A006127(n)). [Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 14 2011]

Sum of coefficients of expansion of (1+x+x^2+x^3)^n.

a(n) is number of compositions of natural numbers into n parts <4.

a(2)=16 there are 16 compositions of natural numbers into 2 parts <4.

The compositions of n in which each natural number is colored by one of p different colors are called p-colored compositions of n. For n>=1, a(n) equals the number of 4-colored compositions of n such that no adjacent parts have the same color. - Milan Janjic, Nov 17 2011

Squares in A002984. [Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 28 2011]

a(n) is the minimum number whose arithmetic derivative is n times the number itself: 1’=0=0*1; 4’=4=1*4; 16’=32=2*16; 64’=192=3*64, etc. - Paolo P. Lava, Feb 21 2012

Row sums of Pascal's triangle using the rule that going left increases the value by a factor of k = 3. For example, the first three rows are {1}, {3, 1}, and {9, 6, 1}. Using this rule gives row sums as (k+1)^n. - Jon Perry, Oct 11 2012

sum(k=0,n,binomial(2*k+l,k)*binomial(2*(n-k)-l,n-k)) for every real number l - Rui Duarte and António Guedes de Oliveira, Feb 16 2013

First differences of A002450. - Omar E. Pol, Feb 20 2013

Sum of all peak heights in Dyck paths of semilength n+1. - David Scambler, Apr 22 2013
