COMMENTS

G.f. = square root of weight enumerator of [4,3,2] even weight code.

a(n) gives the row sums of the coefficient array for the family Gegenbauer_C(n,-1/2,-2x-1). [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 20 2009]

FORMULA

a(n)=(-1)^n*sum{k=0..n, C(n+k-2,n-k)*C(2k,k)/(1-2k)}=(-1)^n*sum{k=0..n, C(n+k-2,n-k)*A002420(k)}; [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 20 2009]

EXAMPLE

1+3*x-4*x^2+12*x^3-44*x^4+180*x^5-788*x^6+3612*x^7-...
