FORMULA

G.f.=x^3*C(x)^8, where C(x)=(1-sqrt(1-4*x))/(2*x) is g.f. for the Catalan numbers (A000108). - Emeric Deutsch, May 30 2004

The convolution of A002057 with itself. - Gerald McGarvey, Nov 08 2007

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>=7, a(n-4)=(-1)^(n-7)*coeff(charpoly(A,x),x^7). [From Milan Janjic, Jul 08 2010]

EXAMPLE
