COMMENTS

Number of bilateral Schroeder paths (i.e. lattice paths consisting of steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1) and H=(2,0)) from (0,0) to (2n,0) and with no H-steps at even (zero, positive or negative) levels. Example: a(2)=8 because we have UDUD, UUDD, UHD, UDDU and their reflections in the x-axis. First differences of A026375. - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 28 2004

FORMULA

G.f.: sqrt((1-x)/(1-5*x))

5^n = sum(i=0..n, sum(j=0..i, a(j)*a(i-j) )).

a(n) = (2*(3*n-2)*a(n-1)-5*(n-2)*a(n-2)])n; a(0)=1, a(1)=2. - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 28 2004

a(n) ~ 2*5^(n-1/2)/sqrt(Pi*n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 14 2012
