COMMENTS

Coefficient of the e^(2x) term in the numerator of the n-th derivative of 1/(2-e^x).

This sequence, multiplied by 8, appears in a combinatorial problem about DNA chips. - Bruno Petazzoni (bruno(AT)enix.org), Apr 18 2007

FORMULA

G.f.: x^2/((1-2x)^2(1-4x)); a(n)=sum{k=0..n, (-1)^k*3^(n-k)*binomial(n, k)floor(k/2)}. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jan 28 2005

a(n) = 4^(n-1) - (n+1)*2^(n-2). - Bruno Petazzoni (bruno(AT)enix.org), Apr 18 2007

EXAMPLE

a(2)=1 because there are two maxima in 2,0,1 and 1,0,2

MATHEMATICA

d = Drop[ Flatten[ CoefficientList[ Table[ Simplify[ D[1/(2 - E^x), {x, n}]*(E^x - 2)^(n + 1)/E^x], {n, 2, 24}], E^x]], 1]; a = {}; Do[AppendTo[a, Abs[d[[n(n + 1)/2]]]], {n, 23}]; a (Robert G. Wilson v)
