Number of lattice paths from (0,0) to the line x=n-1 that do not go below the line y=0 and consist of steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1) and three types of steps H=(1,0) (left factors of 3-Motzkin steps). Example: a(3)=17 because we have UD, UU, 9 HH paths, 3 HU paths and 3 UH paths. - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 22 2004
Also a(n) = number of integer strings s(0), ..., s(n) counted by array U in A026386 that have s(n)=1; a(n) = U(2n-1, n-1).
The Hankel transform of [1,1,4,17,75,339,1558,...] is [1,3,8,21,55,144,377,...] (see A001906). - Philippe Deléham, Apr 13 2007
Number of peaks in all skew Dyck paths of semilength n. A skew Dyck path is a path in the first quadrant which begins at the origin, ends on the x-axis, consists of steps U=(1,1)(up), D=(1,-1)(down) and L=(-1,-1)(left) so that up and left steps do not overlap. The length of the path is defined to be the number of its steps. Example: a(2)=4 because in the 3 (=A002212(2)) skew Dyck paths (UD)(UD), U(UD)D and U(UD)L we have altogether 4 peaks (shown between parentheses). - Emeric Deutsch, Jul 25 2007
Convolved with A007317, (1, 2, 5, 15, 51, ...) = A026376: (1, 6, 30, 144, ...)
Equals A026375, (1, 3, 11, 45, 195, ...) convolved with A002212 prefaced with
a 1: (1, 1, 3, 10, 36, 137, ...). (End)
The array belongs to an interpolated family of arrays associated to the Catalan A000108 (t=1), and Riordan, or Motzkin sums A005043 (t=0), with the interpolating o.g.f. [1-sqrt(1-4x/(1+(1-t)x))]/2 and inverse x(1-x)/[1+(t-1)x(1-x)]. See A091867 for more info on this family. Here the interpolation is t=-4 (mod signs in the results).
Let C(x) = [1 - sqrt(1-4x)]/2, an o.g.f. for the Catalan numbers A000108, with inverse Cinv(x) = x*(1-x) and P(x,t) = x/(1+t*x) with inverse P(x,-t).
O.g.f: G(x) = [-1 + sqrt(1 + 4*x/(1-5x))]/2 = -C[P(-x,5)].
Inverse O.g.f: Ginv(x) = x*(1+x)/[1 + 5x*(1+x)] = -P(Cinv(-x),-5) (signed A039717). (End)

a(n) = coefficient of t^n in (1+t)(1+3t+t^2)^(n-1). - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 30 2004
a(n) = [2(3n-2)a(n-1) - 5(n-2)a(n-2)]/n for n>=2; a(0)=0, a(1)=1. - Emeric Deutsch, Mar 18 2004
a(n+1) = sum(k=0, n, binomial(n, k)*sum(i=0, k, binomial(k+i, i))). - Benoit Cloitre, Aug 06 2004
