COMMENTS

Note that while a(n) is even (for n>0), it is not a multiple of 4 only when n=2^m-1, i.e. when Catalan(n) is odd.

Apply the Riordan matrix ((1+sqrt(1-4x))/2,(1-sqrt(1-4x))/2) (inverse of (1/(1-x),x(1-x)) to 3^n. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Mar 12 2005

Hankel transform is A001787(n+1). [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Mar 15 2010]

FORMULA

a(n) =A067337(2n, n)

G.f.: (1+sqrt(1-4x))/(3sqrt(1-4x)-1); - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Mar 12 2005

a(n)=Sum_[k, 0<=k<=n}A039599(n,k)*A001045(k+1). - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Jun 10 2007

G.f.: (1-xc(x))/(1-3xc(x)), c(x) the g.f. of A000108. [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Mar 15 2010]

EXAMPLE

a(2)=2*9/2-1=8; a(3)=8*9/2-2=34; a(4)=34*9/2-5=148; a(5)=148*9/2-14=652.
