| Equals (1, 2, 3, 4,...) convolved with (1, 2, 1, 2,...). a(4) = 14 = (1, 2, 3, 4) dot (2, 1, 2, 1) = (2 + 2 + 6 + 4). [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), May 01 2009]
We observe that is the transform of A032766 by the following transform T: T(u_0,u_1,u_2,u_3,...)=(u_0,u_0+u_1, u_0+u_1+u_2, u_0+u_1+u_2+u_3+u_4,...). In another terms v_p=sum(u_k,k=0..p) and the G.f phi_v of is given by: phi_v=phi_u/(1-z). [From Richard Choulet (richardchoulet(AT)yahoo.fr), Jan 28 2010]
