COMMENTS

Counts colored Motzkin paths where each of the steps has two possible colors. Series reversion of x/(1+2x+4x^2). - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 04 2007

Hankel transform is 4^C(n+1,2). [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 01 2009]

FORMULA

a(n)=2^n*A001006(n)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), C(n,2k)*C(k)2^(n-2k)*2^k*2^k} where C(n)=A000108(n). - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 04 2007

G.f.: 1/(1-2x-4x^2/(1-2x-4x^2/(1-2x-4x^2/(1-2x-4x^2/(1-.... (continued fraction). [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 01 2009]

G.f.: (1/(8*x^2)) * (1-2*x-(1-4*x-12*x^2)^(1/2)) [From Mark van Hoeij (hoeij(AT)math.fsu.edu), Nov 02 2009]

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 2 because we can go east or north-east.

MAPLE
