COMMENTS

a(n+1)= Y_{n}(n+1)= Z_{n} in the Derrida et al. 1992 reference (see A064094) for alpha=4, beta =1 (or alpha=1, beta=4).

FORMULA

G.f.: (1+4*x*c(4*x)/3)/(1+x/3) = 1/(1-x*c(4*x)) with c(x) g.f. of Catalan numbers A000108.

a(n)= sum((n-m)*binomial(n-1+m, m)*(4^m)/n, m=0..n-1) = ((-1/3)^n)*(1-4*sum(C(k)*(-12)^k, k=0..n-1)), n >= 1, a(0) := 1; with C(n)=A000108(n) (Catalan).

a(n) = Sum{ k= 0...n, A059365(n, k)*4^(n-k) } . - DELEHAM Philippe (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Jan 19 2004

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<0, 0, polcoeff(serreverse((x-3*x^2)/(1+x)^2+O(x^(n+1))), n)) (from R. Stephan)
