COMMENTS

The g.f. is transformed to 1/(1-x)^3 under the Chebyshev transformation A(x)->1/(1+x^2)A(x/(1+x^2)). Second binomial transform of the sequence with g.f. 1/c(-x), where c(x) is the g.f. of the Catalan numbers A000108.

Image of 2n+1 under the Riordan array (1/sqrt(1-4x^2),xc(x^2)). Hankel transform is (n+1)*(-1)^n. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 06 2007

a(n) is the minimum possible value for the apex of a triangle of numbers whose base consists of a permutation of the numbers 1 to n+1, and each number in a higher row is the the sum of the two numbers directly below it. - Nathaniel Johnston, Apr 20 2011

FORMULA

a(n) = sum{k=0..n, (k+1)*binomial(n, (n-k)/2)*binomial(k+2, 2)*(1+(-1)^(n-k))/(n+k+2)}.

a(n) = 2^n + sum{k=0..floor((n-1)/2), (2*n-4*k-1)*binomial(n, k)}. - Nathaniel Johnston, Apr 20 2011

a(n) = M^n*V topmost term. M = an infinite tridiagonal matrix with all 1's in the super and subdiagonals, [1,0,0,0,...] as the main diagonal; and the rest zeros. V = the vector [1,2,3,...]. - Gary W. Adamson, Jan 30 2012

MAPLE

a:=proc(n)return 2^n+add((2*n-4*k-1)*binomial(n, k), k=0..floor((n-1)/2)): end:

seq(a(n), n=0..30); # Nathaniel Johnston, Apr 20 2011
