COMMENT

The sum of squared terms in row n of A104402 = 2*a(n) for n>0. - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Mar 06 2005

REFERENCES

FORMULA

G.f.: {(1-x)^2 * sqrt[(1+x+x^2)/(1-3x+x^2)] + x^2 - 1}/(2x^2) (conjectured). - R. Stephan, Mar 28 2004

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (C(k, n-k) + C(k+1, n-k-1))^2 for n>0, with a(0)=1. - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Mar 06 2005

PROGRAM

(PARI) {a(n)=polcoeff(((1-x)^2*sqrt((1+x+x^2)/(1-3*x+x^2))+x^2-1)/(2*x^2)+x*O(x^n), n)} (PARI) {a(n)=if(n==0, 1, sum(k=0, n, (binomial(k, n-k)+binomial(k+1, n-k-1))^2)/2)} (Hanna)
