%N Expansion of (1+x)/(1-x^2)^4: duplicated tetrahedral numbers.

%C For n >= i, i = 6,7, a(n - i) is the number of incongruent two-color bracelets of n beads, i of which are black (cf. A005513, A032280), having a diameter of symmetry. The latter means the following: if we imagine (0,1)-beads as points (with the corresponding labels) dividing a circumference of a bracelet into n identical parts, then a diameter of symmetry is a diameter (connecting two beads or not) such that a 180-degree turn of one of two sets of points around it (obtained by splitting the circumference by this diameter) leads to the coincidence of the two sets (including their labels). - _Vladimir Shevelev_, May 03 2011

%C From _Johannes W. Meijer_, May 20 2011: (Start)

%C The Kn11, Kn12, Kn13, Fi1 and Ze1 triangle sums, see A180662 for their definitions, of the Connell-Pol triangle A159797 are linear sums of shifted versions of the duplicated tetrahedral numbers, e.g., Fi1(n) = a(n-1) + 5*a(n-2) + a(n-3) + 5*a(n-4).

%C The Kn11, Kn12, Kn13, Kn21, Kn22, Kn23, Fi1, Fi2, Ze1 and Ze2 triangle sums of the Connell sequence A001614 as a triangle are also linear sums of shifted versions of the sequence given above. (End)

%C The number of quadruples of integers [x, u, v, w] that satisfy x > u > v > w >= 0, n + 5 = x + u. - _Michael Somos_, Feb 09 2015

%C Also, this sequence is the fourth column in the triangle of the coefficients of the sum of two consecutive Fibonacci polynomials F(n+1, x) and F(n, x) (n>=0) in ascending powers of x. - _Mohammad K. Azarian_, Jul 18 2018
