COMMENTS

More generally coefficients of (1+m*x-sqrt(m^2*x^2-(2*m+2)*x+1))/(2*m*x) are given by : a(n)=sum(k=0,n,(m+1)^k*N(n,k))

a(n) is the series reversion of x(1-5x)/(1-4x); a(n+1) is the series reversion of x/(1+6x+5x^2); a(n+1) counts (6,5)-Motzkin paths of length n, where there are 6 colors available for the H(1,0) steps and 5 for the U(1,1) steps. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), May 19 2005

The Hankel transform of this sequence is 5^C(n+1,2) . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Oct 29 2007

a(n) is the number of Schroder paths of semilength n in which there are no (2,0)-steps at level 0 and at a higher level they come in 4 colors. Example: a(2)=6 because we have UDUD, UUDD, UBD, UGD, URD, and UYD, where U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), while B, G, R, and Y are, respectively, blue, green, red, and yellow (2,0)-steps. - Emeric Deutsch, May 02 2011
