COMMENTS

a(n) = # Dyck (n+1)-paths all of whose components are symmetric. A strict Dyck path is one with exactly one return to ground level (necessarily at the end). Every nonempty Dyck path is expressible uniquely as a concatenation of one or more strict Dyck paths, called its components. - David Callan, Mar 02 2005

a(n)= # 2-Motzkin paths (i.e. Motzkin paths with blue and red level steps) with no level steps at positive height. Example: a(2)=5 because, denoting U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), B=blue (1,0), R=red (1,0), we have BB, BR, RB, RR, and UD [Emeric Deutsch, June 7, 2011].

Inverse Chebyshev transform of the second kind applied to 2^n. This maps g(x)->c(x^2)g(xc(x^2)). - Paul Barry, Sep 14 2005

Hankel transform of this sequence gives A000012 = [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,...] . - Philippe DELEHAM, Oct 24 2007

Inverse binomial transform of A059738. [From Philippe DELEHAM, Nov 24 2009]

FORMULA

a(n)= sum(A054336(n, m), m=0..n). G.f.: 1/(1-2*x-x^2*c(x^2)), where c(x) = g.f. for Catalan numbers A000108.

G.f.: c(x^2)/(1-2*x*c(x^2)); a(n)=sum{k=0..n, C(n, (n-k)/2)(1+(-1)^(n+k))2^k*(k+1)/(n+k+2)}. - Paul Barry, Sep 14 2005

a(n)=A127358(n+1)-2*A127358(n). - Philippe DELEHAM, Mar 02 2007

a(n)=A126075(n,0). [From Philippe DELEHAM, Nov 24 2009]

a(n)= Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A053121(n,k)*2^k. [From Philippe DELEHAM, Nov 28 2009]

a(n) is the upper left term of M^n, M = an infinite square production matrix as follows:

2, 1, 0, 0, 0,...

1, 0, 2, 0, 0,...

0, 1, 0, 1, 0,...

0, 0, 1, 0, 1,...

0, 0, 0, 1, 0,...

... - Gary W. Adamson, Sep 07 2011

Conjecture: 2*(n+1)*a(n) +5*(-n-1)*a(n-1) +8*(-n+2)*a(n-2) +20*(n-2)*a(n-3)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 30 2012

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 30, the upper left term of M^4
