COMMENTS
|
This sequence (k=2, p=2) belongs to a family of Catalan-like sequences that merit further investigation. The ceiling is taken in order to eliminate the fractional parts. Are there combinations of k and p for which the ceiling is unnecessary?

FORMULA
|
a(n) = Ceiling ( 1/(n+k)*C(pn, n) ), where k=2, p=2 (in the standard Catalan sequence k=1 and p=2).
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(6)=116 because 1/(6+2)*C(12,6) is 115.5 and taking the ceiling we obtain 116.
