COMMENT

Sum(Sum a(j)a(i-j),(j=0,..,i)),(i=0,..,n)=5^n

Number of bilateral Schroeder paths (i.e. lattice paths consisting of steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1) and H=(2,0)) from (0,0) to (2n,0) and with no H-steps at even (zero, positive or negative) levels. Example: a(2)=8 because we have UDUD, UUDD, UHD, UDDU and their reflections in the x-axis. First differences of A026375. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jan 28 2004

FORMULA

G.f.: A(x)=sqrt((1-x)/(1-5x))

a(n)=[2(3n-2)a(n-1)-5(n-2)a(n-2)]/n; a(0)=1, a(1)=2. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jan 28 2004
