FORMULA
|
With c(t) = (1 - sqrt(1-4*t))/(2*t), d(t) = (1 -(1+2*t)*sqrt(1-4*t) -(1 - 2*t)*sqrt(1+4*t) + sqrt(1-16*t^2))/(4*t^2), and g(t, r) = d(t)*t^(r + 1)*c(t)^(r + 3) then the g.f. is given by the odd terms in the expansion of g(t,2) = 1*t^3 + 21*t^5 + 301*t^7 + 4088*t^9 + ... - G. C. Greubel, Jan 16 2019
