Right side of binomial sum Sum(i * binomial(2*n, i), i=1..n) - Yong Kong (ykong(AT)curagen.com), Dec 26 2000

Coefficients of shifted Chebyshev polynomials.

Starting with offset 1 = 4th binomial transform of [2, 8, 0, 0, 0, ...]. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 21 2009

Let P(A) be the power set of an n-element set A and B be the Cartesian product of P(A) with itself. Then a(n) = the sum of the size of the symmetric difference of x and y for every (x,y) of B. - Ross La Haye, Jan 04 2013

It's the relation [27] with T(n) in the document of Ross. Following the last comment of Ross, A002697 is the similar sequence when replacing "symmetric difference" by "intersection" and A212698 is the similar sequence when replacing "symmetric difference" by union. - Bernard Schott, Jan 04 2013

If Delta = Symmetric difference, here, X Delta Y and Y Delta X are considered as two distinct Cartesian products, if we want to consider that X Delta Y = X Delta Y is the same Cartesian product, see A002697. - Bernard Schott, Jan 15 2013
