COMMENTS

With interpolated zeros, this is C(n)(1+(-1)^n)/2 with g.f. given by 2/(sqrt(1+4x)+sqrt(1-4x)). - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 09 2004

FORMULA

G.f.: A(x) = sqrt(1/8*x^-1*(1-sqrt(1-16*x))).

G.f.: 2F1( (1/4, 3/4); (3/2))(16*x) [From Olivier Gerard (olivier.gerard(AT)gmail.com) Feb 17 2011]

EXAMPLE

sqrt(2*x^-1*(1-sqrt(1-x))) = 1 + 1/8*x + 7/128*x^2 + 33/1024*x^3 + ...
