COMMENTS

Generalized NSW numbers. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), May 27 2005

Counts total area under elevated Schroeder paths of length 2n+2, where area under a horizontal step is weighted 3. Case r=4 for family (1+(r-1)x)/(1-2(1+r)x+(1-r)^2*x^2). Case r=2 gives NSW numbers A002315. Fifth binomial transform of (1+8x)/(1-16x^2), A107906. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), May 27 2005

Primes in this sequence include: a(2) = 13, a(4) = 1093, a(7) = 797161. Semiprimes in this sequence include: a(3) = 121 = 11^2, a(5) = 9841 = 13 * 757, a(6) = 88573 = 23 * 3851, a(9) = 64570081 = 1871 * 34511, a(10) = 581130733 = 1597 * 363889, a(12) = 47071589413 = 47 * 1001523179, a(19) = 225141952945498681 = 13097927 * 17189128703.

FORMULA

G.f.: (1+3*x)/(1-10*x+9*x^2); a(n) = sum{k=0..n, binomial(2n+1, 2k)4^k}; a(n) = ((1+sqrt(4))*(5+2*sqrt(4))^n+(1-sqrt(4))*(5-2*sqrt(4))^n)/2. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), May 27 2005

a(n-1) = (-9^n/3)*B(2n,1/3)/B(2n) where B(n,x) is the n-th Bernoulli polynomial and B(k)=B(k,0) is the k-th Bernoulli number.

a(n) = 10*a(n-1)-9*a(n-2)

a(n) = 9*a(n-1)+4. - Vincenzo Librandi, Nov 01 2011
