COMMENTS

a(n) is the sum of pyramid weights of all Dyck paths of length 2n (for pyramid weight see Denise and Simion). Equivalently, a(n) is the sum of the total lengths of end branches of an ordered tree, summation being over all ordered trees with n edges. For example, the five ordered trees with 3 edges have total lengths of endbranches 3,2,3,3 and 3. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), May 30 2003

a(n) is the number of Motzkin paths of length 2n with exactly one level segment. (A level segment is a maximal sequence of contiguous flatsteps.) Example: for n=2, the paths counted are FFFF, FFUD, UDFF, UFFD. The formula for a(n) below counts these paths by length of the level segment. - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Jul 15 2004

The inverse Catalan transform yields A024495, shifted once left. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jul 07 2009]

Contribution from Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Mar 29 2010: (Start)

Hankel transform is A138341.

The aerated sequence 0,0,1,0,4,0,14,0,49,... has e.g.f. int(cosh(x-t)*Bessel_I(1,2t),t,0,x). (End)

a(n) is the number of terms of A031443 not exceeding 4^n. [From Vladimir Shevelev (shevelev(AT)bgu.ac.il), Oct 01 2010]

FORMULA

a(n) = (1/2)*(C(2, 1) + C(4, 2) + C(6, 3) + ... + C(2n, n)) = A066796(n)/2. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Feb 12 2003

G.f.: (1/sqrt(1-4*x)-1)/(1-x)/2. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Feb 12 2003

Given g.f. A(x), then x*A(x-x^2) is g.f. of A024495. - Michael Somos Feb 14 2006
