COMMENTS

Number of Delannoy paths of length n that do not start with a (1,1) step (a Delannoy path of length n is a path from (0,0) to (n,n), consisting of steps E=(1,0), N=(0,1) and D=(1,1)). Example: a(1)=2 because we have NE and EN. Column 0 of A110169 (also nonzero entries in each column of A110169).

For n > 0: a(n) = A128966(2*n,n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 20 2013

FORMULA

G.f.: (1-z)/sqrt(1-6*z+z^2).

a(n) = P_n(3)-P_{n-1}(3) (n>=1), where P_j is j-th Legendre polynomial.

From Paul Barry, Oct 18 2009: (Start)

G.f.: (1-x)/(1-x-2x/(1-x-x/(1-x-x/(1-x-x/(1-... (continued fraction);

G.f.: 1/(1-2x/((1-x)^2-x/(1-x/((1-x)^2-x/(1-x/((1-x)^2-x/(1-... (continued fraction);

a(n)=sum{k=0..n, (0^(n+k)+C(n+k-1,2k-1))*C(2k,k)}=0^n+sum{k=0..n, C(n+k-1,2k-1)*C(2k,k)}. (End)

Recurrence: n*(2*n-3)*a(n) = 2*(6*n^2-12*n+5)*a(n-1) - (n-2)*(2*n-1)*a(n-2). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 18 2012

a(n) ~ 2^(-1/4)*(3+2*sqrt(2))^n/sqrt(Pi*n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 18 2012

MAPLE

with(orthopoly): a:=proc(n) if n=0 then 1 else P(n, 3)-P(n-1, 3) fi end: seq(a(n), n=0..25);
