FORMULA
|
a(n) = number of (s(0), s(1), ..., s(n)) such that s(i) is a nonnegative integer and |s(i) - s(i-1)| <= 1 for i = 1, 2, ..., n, s(0) = 0, s(n) = 3.
G.f.: z^3*M^4, where M is g.f. of Motzkin numbers (A001006).
a(n) = 4*(-3)^(1/2)*(-1)^n*n*((-3*n^3-9*n^2-6*n-9)*hypergeom([1/2, n],[1],4/3)+(2*n^3+n^2-17*n-13)*hypergeom([1/2, n+1],[1],4/3))/(3*(n+1)*(n+2)*(n+3)*(n+4)*(n+5)) (for n >= 3) [From Mark van Hoeij (hoeij(AT)math.fsu.edu), Nov 12 2009]
