Area under Dyck excursions (paths ending in 0): a(n) is the sum of the areas under all Dyck excursions of length 2*n (nonnegative walks beginning and ending in 0 with jumps -1,+1).
Number of inversions in all 321-avoiding permutations of [n+1]. Example: a(2)=6 because the 321-avoiding permutations of [3], namely 123,132,312,213,231, have 0, 1, 2, 1, 2 inversions, respectively. - Emeric Deutsch, Jul 28 2003
Convolution of A001791 and A000984. - Paul Barry, Feb 16 2005
a(n) = total semilength of "longest Dyck subpath" starting at an upstep U taken over all upsteps in all Dyck paths of semilength n. - David Callan, Jul 25 2008
[1,6,29,130,562,2380,...] is convolution of A001700 with itself . [From Philippe Deléham, May 19 2009]

a(n) is the total number of times that all the North-East lattice paths from (0,0) to (n+1,n+1) bounce off the diagonal y = x to the right. This is related to paired pattern P_2 in Pan and Remmel's link and more details can be found in Section 3.2 in the link.
a(n) is the total number of times that all the North-East lattice paths from (0,0) to (n+1,n+1) horizontally cross the diagonal y = x. This is related to paired pattern P_3 in Pan and Remmel's link and more details can be found in Section 3.3 in the link.
2*a(n) is the total number of times that all the North-East lattice paths from (0,0) to (n+1,n+1) bounce off the diagonal y = x. This is related to paired pattern P_2 and P_4 in Pan and Remmel's link and more details can be found in Section 4.2 in the link.

FORMULA
|
a(n) = 4^n - C(2*n+1, n).
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} Catalan(k)*4^(n-k): convolution of Catalan numbers and powers of 4.
G.f.: x*(c(x)^2)/(1-4*x), c(x) = g.f. of Catalan numbers [ Wolfdieter Lang ]
Note Sum_{k=0..2n+1} binomial(2n+1, k) = 2^(2n+1). Therefore, by the symmetry of Pascal's triangle, Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(2n+1, k) = 2^(2n) = 4^n. This explains why the following two expressions for a(n) are equal: Sum_{k=0..n-1} binomial(2n+1, k) = 4^n - binomial(2n+1, n). - Dan Velleman
G.f.: (2*x^2-1+sqrt(1-4*x^2))/(2*(1+2*x)*(2*x-1)*x^3).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} C(2k, k)*C(2(n-k), n-k-1). - Paul Barry, Feb 16 2005
Second binomial transform of 2^n-C(n, floor(n/2)) = A045621(n). - Paul Barry, Jan 13 2006
a(n) = Sum_{0<i<=k<n} binomial(n,k+i)*binomial(n,k-i). [Mircea Merca, Apr 05 2012]
(n+1)*a(n)+2*(-4*n-1)*a(n-1)+8*(2*n-1)*a(n-2)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Dec 03 2012
0 = a(n) * (256*a(n+1) - 224*a(n+2) + 40*a(n+3)) + a(n+1) * (-32*a(n+1) + 56*a(n+2) - 14*a(n+3)) + a(n+2) * (-2*a(n+2) + a(n+3)) if n>-5. - Michael Somos, Jan 25 2014
Convolution square is A045894. - Michael Somos, Jan 25 2014
HANKEL transform is [0,-1,2,-3,4,-5,...]. - Michael Somos, Jan 25 2014
BINOMIAL transform of [0,0,1,3,11,35,...] (A109196) is [0,0,1,6,29,130,...]. - Michael Somos, Jan 25 2014
(n+1) * a(n) = A153338(n+1). - Michael Somos, Jan 25 2014
a(n) = Sum_{m = n+2..2*n+1} binomial(2*n+1,m), n >= 0. - Wolfdieter Lang, May 22 2015
E.g.f.: (exp(2*x) - BesselI(0,2*x) - BesselI(1,2*x))*exp(2*x). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Aug 30 2016

EXAMPLE
|
a(2) = 6 because there are 6 ways to choose at most 1 item from a set of size 5: You can choose the empty set, or you can choose any of the five one-element sets.
G.f. = x + 6*x^2 + 29*x^3 + 130*x^4 + 562*x^5 + 2380*x^6 + 9949*x^7 + ...
