%C Row sums of triangle A035324.

%C a(n+1) = {1, 4, 17, 74, 326, ...} is the binomial transform of A059738. - _Philippe Deléham_, Nov 26 2009

%C (1, 4, 17, 74, 326, ...) is the invert transform of the odd-indexed central binomial coefficients, A001700. - _David Callan_, Oct 14 2012

%C The sequence starting with index 1 is the INVERT transform of A001700: (1, 3, 10, 35, 126, ...) and the second INVERT transform of the Catalan numbers starting with index 1: (1, 2, 5, 14, 42, ...). - _Gary W. Adamson_, Jun 23 2015

%C From _Peter Bala_, Jan 27 2020: (Start)

%C This sequence is the main diagonal of the lower triangular array formed by taking the first column (k = 0) of the array equal to (1,1,3,9,27,...) - powers of 3 with 1 prepended - and then completing the triangle using the relation T(n,k) = T(n-1,k) + T(n,k-1) for k >= 1. See my link in A001517.
