COMMENTS

Hankel transform is A127276.

The second self-composition of the g.f. G(x) of A120009 is G(G(x)) = (sqrt(1-4x)-x)/(1-4x) - 1.

FORMULA

a(n)=C(2n,n)-4^(n-1)+0^n/4. - Paul Barry, Jan 10 2007

Conjecture: n*a(n) +2*(-4*n+3)*a(n-1) +8*(2*n-3)*a(n-2)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 26 2012

EXAMPLE

A(x) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 4*x^3 + 6*x^4 - 4*x^5 - 100*x^6 - 664*x^7 +...

PROG
