COMMENTS

Contribution from Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 23 2009: (Start)

The Hankel transform of this sequence is 3n+1 or 1,4,7,10,... (A016777).

The Hankel transform of the aeration of this sequence is A016777 doubled, that is, 1,1,4,4,7,7,...

In general, the Hankel transform of [x^n](1-r*xc(x))/(1-(r+1)*xc(x)) is rn+1, and that of the

corresponding aerated sequence is the doubled sequence of rn+1. (End)

FORMULA

a(n+1)=sum{k=0..n, 3^k*binomial(2n+1, n-k)*2*(k+1)/(n+k+2)} - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jun 22 2004

a(n+1)=Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}A039598(n,k)*3^k . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Mar 21 2007

a(n) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}A039599(n,k)*A015518(k), for n>=1 . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 22 2007

Let A be the Toeplitz matrix of order n defined by: A[i,i-1]=-1, A[i,j]=Catalan(j-i), (i<=j), and A[i,j]=0, otherwise. Then, for n>=1, a(n+1)=(-1)^n*charpoly(A,-4). [From Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Jul 08 2010]

From Gary W. Adamson, Jul 25 2011: (start) a(n) = upper left term in M^(n-1), M = an infinite square production matrix as follows:

5, 1, 0, 0, 0,...

1, 1, 1, 0, 0,...

1, 1, 1, 1, 0,...

1, 1, 1, 1, 1,...

... (end)

Conjecture: 3*n*a(n) +2*(9-14*n)*a(n-1) +32*(2*n-3)*a(n-2)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 14 2011
