FORMULA

Expansion of x^4*C^9, where C = (1-(1-4*x)^(1/2))/(2*x) is g.f. for Catalan numbers, A000108 . - Philippe Deléham, Feb 03 2004

Let A be the Toeplitz matrix of order n defined by: A[i,i-1]=-1, A[i,j]=Catalan(j-i), (i<=j), and A[i,j]=0, otherwise. Then, for n>=8, a(n-4)=(-1)^(n-8)*coeff(charpoly(A,x),x^8). [Milan Janjic, Jul 08 2010]
