COMMENTS

Let M_n be the n X n matrix m_(i,j)=4+abs(i-j) then det(M_n)=(-1)^(n+1)*a(n+2) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), May 28 2002

Number of ordered pairs of (possibly empty) ordered partitions, each not beginning with 1. - Christian G. Bower (bowerc(AT)usa.net), Jan 23 2004

If X_1,X_2,...,X_n are 2-blocks of a (2n+4)-set X then, for n>=1, a(n+3) is the number of (n+1)-subsets of X intersecting each X_i, (i=1,2,...,n). - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Nov 18 2007

FORMULA

Sum_{ k = 0..n } (k+4)*binomial(n,k) gives 4, 9, 20, 44, 96, 208, 448, 960, 2048, 4352, ... - N. J. A. Sloane (njas(AT)research.att.com), Jan 30 2008

a(n) = (n+5)*2^(n-4), n >= 3; a(0)=1, a(1)=0, a(2)=2. G.f.: ((1-x)^2/(1-2*x))^2.
