COMMENTS

G.f. (offset 1) is series reversion of x/(1+x+2x^2). - Michael Somos, Jul 12 2003.

Number of lattice paths in the first quadrant from (0,0) to (n,0) using only steps H=(1,0), U=(1,1) and D=(1,-1), where the U steps come in two colors: red (R) and green (G) (i.e. Motzkin paths with the up steps in two colors). E.g. a(3)=7 because we have HHH, HRD, HGD, RDH, GDH, RHD and GHD. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 25 2003

Equals inverse binomial transform of A071356: (1, 2, 6, 20, 72,...). [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Sep 03 2010]

FORMULA

a(n)=sum(2^(k-1)*binomial(n+1, k)*binomial(n-k+1, k-1), k=0..n)/(n+1) - Len Smiley (smiley(AT)math.uaa.alaska.edu)

G.f.: (1-x-sqrt(1-2x-7x^2))/(4x^2). - Michael Somos, Jun 08 2000.

a(n)=sum{k=0..n, binomial(n, k)2^(k/2)C(k/2)(1+(-1)^k)/2}, C(n)=A00108(n). - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Dec 22 2003

E.g.f.: exp(x)*BesselI(1, 2*sqrt(2)*x)/(sqrt(2)*x). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Mar 31 2004

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<0, 0, polcoeff(serreverse(x/(1+x+2*x^2+x*O(x^n))), n+1))

(PARI) {a(n)= if(n<0, 0, polcoeff( (1-x- sqrt(1 -2*x -7*x^2 +x^3*O(x^n)) )/4, n+2))} /* Michael Somos Mar 31 2007 */

(PARI) {a(n)= local(A); if(n<0, 0, A= x*O(x^n); n!*simplify(polcoeff( exp(x +A)* besseli(1, 2*x* quadgen(8) +A), n)))} /* Michael Somos Mar 31 2007 */
