COMMENTS

Fill in a triangle, like Pascal's triangle, beginning each row with a 1 and filling in rows alternately right to left and left to right. Thus:

...............1.............

............1..->..2..........

.........4..<-.3...<-..1......

......1..->.5..->..8...->..9..

FORMULA

E.g.f.: exp(x) (tan x + sec x).

Lim n->infinity 2*n*a(n-1)/a(n) = Pi; lim n->infinity a(n)*a(n-2)/a(n-1)^2 = 1 + 1/(n-1) - Gerald McGarvey (Gerald.McGarvey(AT)comcast.net), Aug 13 2004

a(n) = Sum_{k, k>=0} binomial(n, k)*A000111(n-k) . a(2n) = A000795(n) + A009747(n), a(2n+1) = A002084(n) + A003719(n) . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Aug 28 2005
