COMMENTS

Appears to be the number of permutations p of {1,2,...,n} such that p(i)+p(i+1)>=n for every i=1,2,...,n-1 (if offset is 1). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Dec 15 2003

Contribution from Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Aug 02 2010: (Start)

Equals eigensequence of a triangle with 1's in even columns and (1,3,3,3,...)

in odd columns. a(5) = 72 = (1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 1) dot (1, 1, 2, 6, 12, 36)

= (1 + 3 + 2 + 18 + 12 + 36), where (1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 1) = row 5 of the

generating triangle. (End)

FORMULA

Equals T(n, 0) + T(n, 1) + ... + T(n, 2n), T given by A026536.

G.f.: (1+2x)/(1-6x^2) - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Aug 25 2003

a(n+3) = a(n+2)*a(n+1)/a(n). [Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 04 2011]

a(n) = ((1/2)*(3-(-1)^n)*6^floor(n/2)), or a(n) = 6*a(n-2). [From Vincenzo Librandi, Jun 08 2011]
