Triangle A321600 describes log( (1-y)*Sum_{n=-oo...+oo} (x^n + y)^n )/(1-y).
FORMULA
L.g.f.: log( (1 - x)*(1 - x^2)/(1 - 3*x) ).
G.f.: 2*x*(1 + 3*x^2)/((1 - x^2)*(1 - 3*x)).
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 2*x + 6*x^2 + 26*x^3 + 78*x^4 + 242*x^5 + 726*x^6 + 2186*x^7 + 6558*x^8 + 19682*x^9 + 59046*x^10 + ...
L.g.f.: L(x) = log( (1-x)*(1-x^2)/(1-3*x) ) = 2*x + 6*x^2/2 + 26*x^3/3 + 78*x^4/4 + 242*x^5/5 + 726*x^6/6 + 2186*x^7/7 + 6558*x^8/8 + 19682*x^9/9 + 59046*x^10/10 + 177146*x^11/11 + ... + A321600(n,n-1)*x^n/n + ...
such that
exp(L(x)) = 1 + 2*x + 5*x^2 + 16*x^3 + 48*x^4 + 144*x^5 + 432*x^6 + 1296*x^7 + 3888*x^8 + 11664*x^9 + 34992*x^10 + 104976*x^11 + ... + A257970(n)*x^n + ...
exp(L(x)/2) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 6*x^3 + 16*x^4 + 44*x^5 + 122*x^6 + 342*x^7 + 966*x^8 + 2746*x^9 + 7846*x^10 + 22514*x^11 + 64836*x^12 + ... + A105696(n)*x^n + ...
PROG
(PARI) {a(n) = n*polcoeff( log((1 - x)*(1 - x^2)/(1 - 3*x +x*O(x^n))), n)}
