(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A081494 Start with Pascal's triangle; form a triangle by sliding down n steps from top on both sides and including the horizontal row, deleting the inner numbers; a(n) = sum of entries on perimeter of triangle. 3

FORMULA

For n > 1, a(n) = A061761(n-1). - David Wasserman (wasserma(AT)spawar.navy.mil), Jun 03 2004

EXAMPLE

The triangle pertaining to n = 4 is obtained from the solid triangle

.....1

...1...1

.1...2...1

1..3...3...1

giving

.....1

...1...1

.1.......1

1..3...3...1

and the sum of all the numbers is 13, a(4) = 13.

MAPLE

restart:a:= proc(n) option remember; if n=0 then 1 else add((binomial (n, j)+2), j=0..n-1) fi end: seq (a(n), n=0..31); # [From Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 29 2009]
