COMMENTS

The Hankel transform (see A001906 for definition) of this sequence is A000302 (powers of 4) : 1, 4, 16, 64, 256, 1024, ... - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Aug 17 2005

FORMULA

Differential equation: (16*x^3 + 12*x^2 - 8*x + 1) * x*diff(A(x), x) + (8x^3 - 12*x^2 + 6*x - 1) * A(x) + (8x^2 - 6*x + 1) = 0.

G.f.: ((1 - 4*x) + 2*x * sqrt(1 - 4*x)) / (1 - 4*x - 4*x^2). a(n) * (n-1) = a(n-1) * (8*n - 14) - a(n-2) * 12*(n-3) - a(n-3) * 8*(2*n - 5), n>2. Hankel number wall zig-zag diagonal is A011782. - Michael Somos, Sep 14 2003

INVERT transform of A028329 (offset 1). - Michael Somos, Jan 05 2012

G.f.: (1-2*x*f(x))/(1-2*x*f(x)-2*x) where f(x) is the g.f. of A000108 (Catalan numbers). - DELEHAM Philippe, Jan 30 2012

EXAMPLE

1 + 2*x + 8*x^2 + 36*x^3 + 168*x^4 + 796*x^5 + 3800*x^6 + 18216*x^7 + ...

PROG

(PARI) {a(n) = if( n<0, 0, polcoeff((1 - 4*x + 2*x * sqrt(1 - 4*x + x * O(x^n))) /(1 - 4*x - 4*x^2), n))} /* Michael Somos, Jan 05 2012 */
