Convolution of 2^n+1 (A000051) and 2^n-1 (A000225) - Graeme McRae (g_m(AT)mcraefamily.com), Jun 07 2006

Let Q be a binary relation on the power set P(A) of a set A having n = |A| elements such that for all non-empty elements x,y of P(A), xRy if x is a proper subset of y and there are no z in P(A) such that x is a proper subset of z and z is a proper subset of y. Then a(n) = |Q|. - Ross La Haye (rlahaye(AT)new.rr.com), Feb 20 2008

Also: convolution of A006589 with A000012 (i.e., partial sums of A006589). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jan 25 2009]

FORMULA

a(n) = (n+1)*2^n-n-1 = Sum{0 <= j <= n}[(n+j)*2^(n-j-1)] = A048493(n)-1 = Column sum of A062111. - Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), May 30 2001

a:=sum(k*2^(k-2), k=2..n). - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Oct 09 2006

G.f.: x^2(2-3x)/((1-2x)(1-x))^2 . a(n)=6*a(n-1)-13*a(n-2)+12*a(n-3)-4*a(n-4). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jan 25 2009]

Corrected my comment of Feb 20 2008. I indicated that a(n-1) = |Q| when in fact a(n) = |Q|. - Ross La Haye (rlahaye(AT)new.rr.com), Oct 21 2008
