%N First differences of the central Delannoy numbers (A001850).
%C Number of Delannoy paths of length n that do not start with a (1, 1) step (a Delannoy path of length n is a path from (0, 0) to (n, n), consisting of steps E = (1, 0), N = (0, 1) and D = (1, 1)). Example: a(1) = 2 because we have NE and EN. Column 0 of A110169 (also nonzero entries in each column of A110169).
%C For n > 0: a(n) = A128966(2*n,n). - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Jul 20 2013
