%C A005774 Number of ordered trees with n+1 edges, having root degree at least 2 and nonroot outdegrees at most 2. - _Emeric Deutsch_, Aug 02 2002
%C A005774 From Petkovsek's algorithm, this recurrence does not have any closed form solutions. So there is no hypergeometric closed form for a(n). - Herbert S. Wilf
%C A005774 Sum of two consecutive trinomial coefficients starting two positions before central one. Example: a(4) = 10+16 and (1 + x + x^2)^4 = ... + 10*x^2 + 16*x^3 + 19*x^4 + ... - _David Callan_, Feb 07 2004
%C A005774 Image of n (A001477) under the Motzkin related matrix A107131. Binomial transform of A037952. - _Paul Barry_, May 12 2005
%C A005774 a(n) = total number of ascents (maximal runs of consecutive upsteps) in all Motzkin (n+1)-paths. For example, the 9 Motzkin 4-paths are FFFF, FFUD, FUDF, FUFD, UDFF, UDUD, UFDF, UFFD, UUDD and they contain a total of 9 ascents and so a(3)=9 (U=upstep, D=downstep, F=flatstep). - _David Callan_, Aug 16 2006
%C A005774 Image of the sequence (0,1,2,3,3,3,...) under the array A122896. - _Paul Barry_, Sep 18 2006
%C A005774 This is some kind of Motzkin transform of A079978 because the substitution x-> x*A001006(x) in the independent variable of the g.f. A079978(x) yields 1,0 followed by this sequence here. - _R. J. Mathar_, Nov 08 2008
