%N A signed variant of the Motzkin numbers.

%C Hankel transform is A131713. Binomial transform is A166588.

%C [a(n+1)] = [1,-1,2,-4,9,...] is the inverse binomial transform of A126120. - _Philippe Deléham_, Nov 29 2009

%H G. C. Greubel, <a href="/A166587/b166587.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..500</a>

%F G.f.: (1+3x-sqrt(1+2x-3x^2))/(2x); (1+3x)/(1+2x-x^2/(1+x-x^2/(1+x-x^2/(1+x-x^2/(1+...))))) (continued fraction).

%F a(n) = 0^n + Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n-1, k-1)*(-3)^(n-k)*A000108(k).

%F G.f.: (1+3*x-sqrt(1+2*x-3*x^2))/(2x) = (3-1/G(0))/2 ; G(k) = 1+2*x/(1-x/(1-x/(1+2*x/(1+x/(2+x/G(k+1)))))) ; (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Dec 11 2011

%F Conjecture: n*(n+1)*a(n) + n*(n+1)*a(n-1) - (5*n-3)*(n-2)*a(n-2) + 3*(n-2)*(n-3)*a(n-3) = 0. - _R. J. Mathar_, Nov 15 2012

%F G.f. G(x) satisfies (3 x^2 - 2 x^2 - x) G'(x) - (x+1) G(x) + 3 x + 1 = 0, from which follows 3*n*a(n) + (-3-2*n)*a(1+n) + (-3-n)*a(n+2) = 0 as well as Mathar's conjecture. - _Robert Israel_, May 17 2016
