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 (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Jun 11 2002

a(n)=sum(k=0,n,C(2k,k)*C(2(n-k),n-k)). - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), 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 (wieder.thomas(AT)t-online.de), May 18 2005

Hankel transform of A076035. [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Feb 28 2009]

Equals the Catalan sequence: (1, 1, 2, 5, 14,...), convolved with A032443: (1, 3, 11, 42,...). [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), 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
