COMMENTS

1, 1, 3, 11, 43, 173, ... is the unique sequence for which both the Hankel transform of the sequence itself and the Hankel transform of its left shift are the powers of 2 (A000079). For example, det[{{1, 1, 3}, {1, 3, 11}, {3, 11, 43}}] = det[{{1, 3, 11}, {3, 11, 43}, {11, 43, 173}}] = 4. - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Mar 30 2007

Contribution from Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jan 25 2009: (Start)

a(n) is the image of F(2n+2) under the Catalan matrix (1,xc(x)) where c(x) is the g.f. of A000108.

The sequence 1,1,3,... is the image of A001519 under (1,xc(x)). This sequence has g.f. given by

1/(1-x-2x^2/(1-3x-x^2/(1-2x-x^2/(1-2x-x^2/(1-..... (continued fraction). (End)

The sequence 1,1,3,... has g.f. 1/(1-x/sqrt(1-4x)), INVERT transform of A000984.

It is an eigensequence of the sequence array for A000984. (End)
