COMMENTS

One of three infinite families of integral factorial ratio sequences of height 1 (see Bober, Theorem 1.2). The other two are A007318 and A046521. A related table is A182073. - Peter Bala, Apr 10 2012

FORMULA

The square array defined by f := (a, b)->add(binomial(2*a, k)*binomial(2*b, a+b-k)*(-1)^(a+b-k), k=0..2*a); and read by antidiagonals gives a signed version.

Let f(x) = 1/sqrt(1-4*x) denote the o.g.f for A000984. The o.g.f. for this table is (f(x) + f(y))*f(x)*f(y)*(1/(1+f(x)*f(y))) = (1+2*x+6*x^2+20*x^3+...) + (2+2*x+4*x^2+10*x^3+...)*y + (6+4*x+6*x^2+12*x^3+...)*y^2 + .... - Peter Bala, Apr 10 2012
