%N Expansion of (1 + 2*x)/(1 + 3*x + 4*x^2).
%C For positive n, a(n) equals 2^n times the permanent of the (2n) X (2n) tridiagonal matrix with 1/sqrt(2)'s along the main diagonal, and i's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal (i is the imaginary unit). - _John M. Campbell_, Jul 08 2011
%C For n > 3, equals -1 times the determinant of the (n-2) X (n-2) matrix with 2^2's along the superdiagonal, 3^2's along the main diagonal, 4^2's along the subdiagonal, etc., and 0's everywhere else. - _John M. Campbell_, Dec 01 2011
