Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

The Hankel transform of this sequence is 6^C(n+1,2). - Philippe Deléham, Oct 28 2007
The Hankel transform of the sequence starting 1, 1, 3, 15, ... is A081955. - Paul Barry, Dec 09 2008
Number of Schroeder paths from (0,0) to (0,2n) allowing two colors for the down steps (or alternatively for the rise steps). - Paul Barry, Feb 01 2009
Essentially, reversion of x*(1-2*x)/(1+x). - Paul Barry, Apr 28 2009
a(n) is also the number of infix expressions with n variables and operators +, - and * (or +, * and /) such that there are no redundant parentheses. - Vjeran Crnjak, Apr 25 2020

FORMULA
G.f.: (1 - z - sqrt(1 -10*z +z^2))/(4*z).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A060693(n,k)*2^(n-k). - Philippe Deléham, Apr 02 2007
a(0) = 1, a(n) = a(n-1) + 2*Sum_{k=0..n-1} a(k)*a(n-1-k). - Philippe Deléham, Oct 23 2007
a(n) = (3/2)*A107841(n) for n > 0. - Philippe Deléham, Oct 28 2007
G.f.: 1/(1-x-2*x/(1-x-2*x/(1-x-2*x/(1-.... (continued fraction). - Paul Barry, Feb 01 2009
