COMMENTS

More generally coefficients of (1+m*x-sqrt(m^2*x^2-(2*m+4)*x+1))/((2*m+2)*x) are given by : a(n)=sum(k=0,n,(m+1)^k*N(n,k))

The Hankel transform of this sequence is 6^C(n+1,2) . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Oct 29 2007

FORMULA

G.f. (1+5*x-sqrt(25*x^2-14*x+1))/(12*x)

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A088617(n, k)*6^k*(-5)^(n-k) . - DELEHAM Philippe (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Jan 21 2004

a(n) = [7(2n-1)a(n-1) - 25(n-2)a(n-2)] / (n+1) for n>=2, a(0) = a(1) = 1 . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Aug 19 2005
