COMMENTS
The sequence b(n) = [0,1,2,6,21,80,322,1348,...] for n >= 0 is the Catalan transform of Catalan numbers C(n-1), with C(-1)=0; Sum_{k=0..n} A106566(n,k) * A000108(k-1) = b(n).
A121988 is an essentially identical sequence. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 13 2008
Catalan transform of A014137. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 11 2008

FORMULA
a(n-1) = (1/n)*Sum_{k=1..n} binomial(2*n-k-1, n-1)*binomial(2*k-2, k-1).
G.f.: (1-sqrt(2*sqrt(1-4*x)-1))/(2*x). - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 20 2007 Corrected by Stefan Forcey (sforcey(AT)tnstate.edu), Aug 02 2007

Recurrence: 3*n*(n+1)*a(n) = 14*n*(2*n-1)*a(n-1) - 4*(4*n-5)*(4*n-3)*a(n-2).
a(n) ~ 2^(4*n+3/2)/(3^(n+1/2)*sqrt(Pi)*n^(3/2)). (End)

G.f.: (1/x) * Series_Reversion( x * (1-x) * (1-x+x^2) ).
a(n) = (1/(n+1)) * Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} (-1)^k * binomial(n+k,k) * binomial(3*n-k+1,n-2*k). (End)
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 + 2*x + 6*x^2 + 21*x^3 + 80*x^4 + 322*x^5 + 1349*x^6 + ... - Michael Somos, May 28 2023
