COMMENTS

Also number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,n), with steps (1,0),(0,1) and (1,1), that never rise above the line y=x and the steps (1,1) are colored red or blue. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), May 28 2003

The Hankel transform (see A001906 for definition) of this sequence forms A049656(n+1)= [1, 3, 27, 729, 59049, 14348907, ... ] . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Aug 29 2006

With a(0)=0, this is the series reversion of x(1-x)/(1+2x). [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 18 2009]

Row sums of the Riordan matrix A121576. [Emanuele Munarini, May 18 2011]

FORMULA

(1-2z-sqrt(4z^2-8z+1))/2z.

For n>0, a(n)=(1/n)*sum(k=0, n, 3^k*C(n, k)*C(n, k-1)) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), May 10 2003

a(1)=1, a(n)=2*a(n-1)+sum(i=1, n-1, a(i)*a(n-i)). - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Mar 16 2004

The Hankel transform (see A001906 for definition) of this sequence form A049656(n+1)= [1, 3, 27, 729, 59049, 14348907, ... ] . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Aug 29 2006

2*a(n)=A054872(n+1). - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Aug 17 2007

Contribution from Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Feb 01 2009: (Start)

G.f.: 1/(1-2x-x/(1-2x-x/(1-2x-x/(1-2x-x/(1-... (continued fraction);

a(n)=sum{k=0..n, C(n+k,2k)*2^(n-k)*A000108(k)}. (End)

G.f.: 1/(1-3x/(1-x/(1-3x/(1-x/(1-3x/(1-x/(1-3x/(1-... (continued fraction). [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 18 2009]

a(0) = 1, for n>=1, a(n) = 3*A007564(n) [From Aoife Hennessy (aoife.hennessy(AT)gmail.com), Dec 02 2009]

From Emanuele Munarini, May 18 2011: (Start)

a(n) = sum(binomial(n,k)*binomial(2*n-k+1,n+1)*(2*n^2-6*(k-1)*n+3*k^2-9*k+4)/((n-k+2)*(n-k+1))*2^k,k=0..n)/2.

Recurrence: (n+3)*(n+4)*a(n+3)-6*(n+3)^2*a(n+2)-12*(n+1)^2*a(n+1)+8*n*(n+1)*a(n)=0. (End)

G.f.: A(x)=(1-2*x-sqrt(4*x^2-8*x+1))/(2*x)= (1 - G(0))/x; G(k)= 1 + 2*x - 3*x/G(k+1); (continued fraction, 1-step ). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jan 05 2012
