Binomial transform of A033321. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 26 2009

a(n) is the number of Motzkin paths of length n in which the (1,0)-steps at level 0 come in 2 colors and those at a higher level come in 4 colors. Example: a(3)=16 because, denoting U=(1,1), H=(1,0), and D=(1,-1), we have 2^3 = 8 paths of shape HHH, 2 paths of shape HUD, 2 paths of shape UDH, and 4 paths of shape UHD. - Emeric Deutsch, May 02 2011

Formula

a(n) = A124575(n,0). - Philippe Deléham, Nov 26 2009

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A052179(n,k)*(-2)^k. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 28 2009

From Gary W. Adamson, Jul 21 2011: (Start)

a(n) = upper left term in M^n, M = an infinite square production matrix as follows (with the main diagonal (2,3,3,3,...)):

2, 1, 0, 0, ...

1, 3, 1, 0, ...

1, 1, 3, 1, ...

1, 1, 1, 3, ...

... (End)

D-finite with recurrence: 2*(n+1)*a(n) = (19*n-5)*a(n-1) - 12*(4*n-5)*a(n-2) + 36*(n-2)*a(n-3). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 08 2012

a(n) ~ 6^(n+1/2)/(3*sqrt(Pi)*n^(3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 08 2012
