COMMENT

Arises in enumerating paths in the plane.

a(n+1) is the determinant of the n-by-n Hankel matrix whose first row is the Catalan numbers C_n (A000108) beginning at C_4 = 14. Example (n=3): det[{{14, 42, 132}, {42, 132, 429}, {132, 429, 1430}}] = 330. - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Mar 30 2007
