COMMENT

1, 1, 3, 11, 43, 173, ... is the unique sequence for which both the Hankel transform of the sequence itself and the Hankel transform of its left shift are the powers of 2 (A000079). For example, det[{{1, 1, 3}, {1, 3, 11}, {3, 11, 43}}] = det[{{1, 3, 11}, {3, 11, 43}, {11, 43, 173}}] = 4. - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Mar 30 2007
