COMMENTS

Transform of 1/(1-3x) under the mapping g(x)->g(xc(x^2)), where c(x) is the g.f. of the Catalan numbers A000108. The inverse transform is h(x)->h(x/(1+x^2)).

FORMULA

G.f.: 2x/(3sqrt(1-4x^2)+2x-3); a(0)=1, a(n)=sum{k=0..n, k*binomial(n-1, (n-k)/2)(1+(-1)^(n-k))3^k/(n+k)}, n>0.

Conjecture: 3*n*a(n) -10*n*a(n-1) +12*(3-n)*a(n-2) +40*(n-3)*a(n-3)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Sep 21 2012
