%N Expansion of ((1 + x - 2x^2) + (1+x)*sqrt(1-4x^2))/(2(1-4x^2)).

%C Interleaving of A114121 and A032443. Row sums of A116405. Binomial transform is A116409.

%C Appears to be the number of n-digit binary numbers not having more zeros than ones; equivalently, the number of unrestricted Dyck paths of length n not going below the axis. - _Ralf Stephan_, Mar 25 2008

%C From _Gus Wiseman_, Jun 20 2021: (Start)

%C Also the number compositions of n with alternating sum >= 0, where the alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i. The a(0) = 1 through a(5) = 11 compositions are:

%C () (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)

%C (11) (21) (22) (32)

%C (111) (31) (41)

%C (112) (113)

%C (121) (122)

%C (211) (212)

%C (1111) (221)

%C (311)

%C (1121)

%C (2111)

%C (11111)

%C (End)

%C From _J. Stauduhar_, Jan 14 2022: (Start)

%C Also, for n >= 2, first differences of partial row sums of Pascal's triangle. The first ceiling(n/2)+1 elements of rows n=0 to n=4 in Pascal's triangle are:

%C 1

%C 1 1

%C 1 2

%C 1 3 3

%C 1 4 6

%C ...

%C The cumulative sums of these partial rows form the sequence 1,3,6,13,24,..., and its first differences are a(2),a(3),a(4),... in this sequence.

%C (End)

%F a(n) = A114121(n/2)*(1+(-1)^n)/2 + A032443((n-1)/2)*(1-(-1)^n)/2.

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n-1,k). - _Paul Barry_, Oct 06 2007

%F Conjecture: n*(n-3)*a(n) +2*(-n^2+4*n-2)*a(n-1) -4*(n-2)^2*a(n-2) +8*(n-2)*(n-3)*a(n-3)=0. - _R. J. Mathar_, Nov 28 2014

%F a(n) ~ 2^(n-2) * (1 + (3+(-1)^n)/sqrt(2*Pi*n)). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, May 30 2016

%F a(n) = 2^(n-1) - A294175(n). - _Gus Wiseman_, Jun 27 2021
