%C Arises in enumerating paths in the plane.

%C a(n+1) is the determinant of the n X n Hankel matrix whose first row is the Catalan numbers C_n (A000108) beginning at C_4 = 14. Example (n=3): det[{{14, 42, 132}, {42, 132, 429}, {132, 429, 1430}}] = 330. - _David Callan_, Mar 30 2007

%C 0 together with partial sums of A085461. - _Arkadiusz Wesolowski_, Aug 05 2012
