COMMENT

Equals row sums of triangle A104978 which has g.f. F(x,y) that satisfies: F = 1 + x*F^2 + x*y*F^3. - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Mar 30 2005

REFERENCES

Problem 10658, American Math. Monthly, 107, 2000, 368-370.

FORMULA

G.f.: (2/3)*sqrt((z+3)/z)*sin((1/3)*arcsin(sqrt(z)*(z+18)/(z+3)^(3/2)))-1/3. a(n)=(Sum_{i=0..n-1} 2^(i+1)*binomial(2*n, i)*binomial(n, i+1))/n, n>0.

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} C(2*n+k, n+2*k)*C(n+2*k, k)/(n+k+1). - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Mar 30 2005

Given g.f. A(x), y=A(x)x satisfies 0=f(x, y) where f(x, y)=x(x-y)+(x+y)y^2 . - Michael Somos May 23 2005 */

Series reversion of x(Sum_{k>=0} a(k)x^k) is x(Sum_{k>=0} A085403(k)x^k).

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=sum(k=0, n, binomial(2*n+k, n+2*k)*binomial(n+2*k, k)/(n+k+1)) (Hanna)

(PARI) a(n)=sum(k=0, n, binomial(n, k)*binomial(2*n+k+1, n)/(2*n+k+1) ) /* Michael Somos May 23 2005 */
