%C From _Gary W. Adamson_, Dec 27 2008: (Start)
%C This is an analog of the Catalan sequence: Let M denote an infinite Cartan matrix (-1's in the super and subdiagonals and (2,2,2,...) in the main diagonal which we modify to (1,2,2,2,...). Then A000108 can be generated by accessing the leftmost term in M^n * [1,0,0,0,...]. Change the operation to M^n * [1,2,3,...] to get this sequence. Or, take iterates M * [1,2,3,...] -> M * ANS, -> M * ANS,...; accessing the leftmost term. (End)
%C Convolved with the Catalan sequence, A000108: (1, 1, 2, 5, 14, ...) = powers of 4, A000302: (1, 4, 16, 64, ...). - _Gary W. Adamson_, May 15 2009
