COMMENTS

This is the so-called A-sequence for the Riordan triangle A158454, as well as for A129818. For the notion of Z- and A-sequences for Riordan arrays see the W. Lang link under A006232 with details and references. W. Lang, Dec 20 1010.

a(n)*(-1)^n is the A-sequence for the Riordan triangle A111125. - From Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 26 2011.

FORMULA

O.g.f.: 1/c(x)^2 = (1-x) - x*c(x) with the o.g.f. c(x):=(1-sqrt(1-4*x))/(2*x) of A000108 (Catalan numbers).

a(0)=1, a(1)=-2, a(n)=-C(n-1), n>=2, with C(n):=A000108(n) (Catalan). The start [1, -2] is row n=2 of signed A034807 (signed Lucas polynomials). See A115149 and A034807 for comments.

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := -First[ ListConvolve[ cc = Array[ CatalanNumber, n-1, 0], cc]]; a[0] = 1; a[1] = -2; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 27}] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Oct 21 2011 *)
