COMMENTS

This gives the next-to-central entries of the even-indexed rows of the triangle A107711.

For the central entries (of the even-numbered rows) see A001700.

This sequence is composed of the bisection sequences A024492 (even part) and A065097 (odd part).

FORMULA

a(n) = binomial(2*(n+1),n)*gcd(n,2)/(2*(n+1)) for n >= 0.

a(n) = A107711(2*(n+1), n) for n >= 0.

G.f.: (3*c(x)- c(-x)-2)/(4*x) =(4*(1-x) - 3*sqrt(1-4*x) - sqrt(1+4*x))/(8*x^2), with c(x) the o.g.f. of the Catalan numbers A000108. See the bisection comment above.
