COMMENTS

The Hankel transform of this sequence is [1,-6,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,...]. - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Apr 15 2008

Let A be the Hessenberg matrix of order n, defined by: A[1,j]=1, A[i,i]:=-2, A[i,i-1]=-1, and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n>=1, a(n-1)=charpoly(A,2). [From Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Jan 26 2010]

FORMULA

Inverse binomial transform of A003948.

a(2n) = 4a(2n-1) - 1; a(2n+1) = 4a(2n) + 1.

a(n) = 3*2^(2*n-1)-a(n-1), with a(0) = 1; also a(n) = abs{3*sum[i = 1..n,(-1)^i*2^(2*i-1)]+1}, with a(0) = 1. - Paolo P. Lava & Giorgio Balzarotti (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), May 28 2007

O.g.f.: (1+2*x)/[(1+x)(1-4*x)]. - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Apr 02 2008

Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}a(k)=A037481(n+1). - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Apr 15 2008

MAPLE

P:=proc(n, k) local a, i, j; a:=1; print(a); for i from 1 by 1 to n do j:=(k+1)*k^(2*i-1)-a; print(j); a:=j; od; end: P(100, 2); - Paolo P. Lava & Giorgio Balzarotti (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), May 28 2007
