COMMENTS

Row sums of number triangle A106190. Partial sums of A002420.

For n>=1 onward, the absolute values give also the iterates of A122237, starting from 0. (A122237(0), A122237(A122237(0)), A122237(A122237(A122237(0))), ...), this stems from the fact that the sequence gives the positions of terms with binary expansion 1(10){n-1}0 in A014486 (see A080675).

FORMULA

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

CROSSREFS

|a(n)| = A080300(A080675(n)) = A075161(A001348(n)) (for n>=1) = A075163(A000244(A008578(n-2))) = A014137(n-1)+A014138(n-2) = 2*A014137(n-1)-1, for n>=2. (Because binomial(2n+2, n+1)/(2n+1) = 2*A000108(n))

Sequence in context: A018025 A018026 A087953 * A062810 A113985 A151265
