%C G.f.: c(x)*(4-c(x))/(1-4*x)^(3/2), c(x) = g.f. for Catalan numbers A000108 (agrees with Hansen, 1975, p. 99, (5.27.9)). Convolution of A038679 with A000984 (central binomial coefficients); also convolution of A038665 with A000302 (powers of 4). - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Dec 11 1999

%C Appears as diagonal in A003506. - _Zerinvary Lajos_, Apr 12 2006

%C a(n) is the number of double rises in all Grand Dyck paths of semilength n+2. Example: a(0)=3 because in the 6 (=A000984(2)) Grand Dyck paths of semilength 2, namely udud, (uu)dd, uddu, d(uu)d, dudu, dd(uu), we have a total of 3 uu's (shown between parentheses). - _Emeric Deutsch_, Nov 29 2008
