%N Expansion of (1-x)/(1 - 3*x + x^2)^2.

%C a(n) = ((n+1)*F(2*n+3)+(2*n+3)*F(2*(n+1)))/5 with F(n)=A000045(n) (Fibonacci numbers). One half of odd-indexed A001629(n), n >= 2 (Fibonacci convolution).

%C Convolution of F(2n+1) (A001519) and F(2n+2) (A001906(n+1)). - _Graeme McRae_, Jun 07 2006

%C Number of reentrant corners along the lower contours of all directed column-convex polyominoes of area n+3 (a reentrant corner along the lower contour is a vertical step that is followed by a horizontal step). a(n) = Sum_{k=0..ceiling((n+1)/2)} k*A121466(n+3,k). - _Emeric Deutsch_, Aug 02 2006

%C From _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jan 02 2012: (Start)

%C a(n) = A024458(2*n), n >= 1 (bisection, even arguments).

%C a(n) is also the odd part of the bisection of the half-convolution of the sequence A000045(n+1), n >= 0, with itself. See a comment on A201204 for the definition of the half-convolution of a sequence with itself. There one also finds the rule for the o.g.f. which in this case is Chato(x)/2 with the o.g.f. Chato(x) = 2*(1-x)/(1-3*x+x^2)^2 of A001629(2*n+3), n >= 0.
