%N A081696 Expansion of 1/(x + sqrt(1-4x)).
%C A081696 Number of irreducible ordered pairs of compositions of n. A pair of compositions of n into the same number of (positive) parts, say n = a1 + ... + ak and n = b1 + ... + bk, is irreducible if for all j < k, a1 + ... + aj is not equal to b1 + ... + bj. E.g., a(3)=3 because the irreducible pairs are (1+2,2+1), (2+1,1+2), (3,3). - Herbert S. Wilf, May 22 2004
%C A081696 Hankel transform is 2^n. - _Paul Barry_, Nov 22 2007
%C A081696 Equals left border of triangle A152229. - _Gary W. Adamson_, Nov 29 2008
%C A081696 Equals INVERTi transform of A000984: (1, 2, 6, 20, 70, 252, ...). - _Gary W. Adamson_, May 15 2009
%C A081696 (1 + 3x + 9x^2 + 29x^3 + ...) * 1/(1 + x + 3x^2 + 9x^3 + 29x^4 + ...) = (1 + 2x + 4x^2 + 10x^3 + 28x^4 + ...); where A068875 = (1, 2, 4, 10, 28, ...). - _Gary W. Adamson_, Nov 21 2011
%C A081696 Apparently the number of grand Motzkin paths of length n with two types of flat step (F,f) and avoiding F at level 0. - _David Scambler_, Jul 04 2013

%F A081696 A Catalan transform of the Fibonacci numbers F(n+1) under the mapping G(x) -> G(xc(x)), c(x) the g.f. of A000108. The inverse mapping is H(x) -> H(x(1-x)).
%F A081696 a(n) = Sum{k=0..n} (k/(2n-k))binomial(2n-k, n-k)F(k+1). (End)
%F A081696 From _Bill Gosper_, May 14 2011: (Start)
%F A081696 We have (per _Wouter Meeussen_): a(n) = (Sum_{k=1..n} k*Fibonacci(k+1)*(-1)^(n+k)*binomial(-n,n-k))/n = (Sum_{k=1..n} k*Fibonacci(k+1)*binomial(2*n-k-1,n-1))/n.
%F A081696 If we introduce an alternating sign, defining b(n) = (Sum_{k=1..n} k*Fibonacci(k+1)*binomial(-n,n-k))/n = (Sum_{k=1..n} k*Fibonacci(k+1)*(-1)^(n+k)*binomial(2*n-k-1,n-1))/n, then b(n) = 1 for all n. (Not obvious--I proved it satisfies b(n+2) = ((17*n^2 + 37*n + 18)*b(n+1) - 4*(2*n+1)*(2*n+3)*b(n))/((n+2)*(n+3)).) (End)
