$R$-recursion for Fibonacci numbers using signed Catalan numbers

Let $F_n$ be A000045 (i.e., Fibonacci numbers). Here $$ F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2}, \\ F_0 = 0, F_1 = 1. $$ Let $C_n$ be A000108 (i.e., Catalan numbers). Here $$ C_n = \frac{1}{n+1}\binom{2n}{n}. $$ Let $...

Sequences that sums up to second differences of Bell and Catalan numbers

Let $f(n)$ be A007814, the exponent of the highest power of $2$ dividing $n$, a.k.a. the binary carry sequence, the ruler sequence, or the $2$-adic valuation of $n$. Let $g(n)$ be A025480, $g(2n) = n$...

How to compute this series: $\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{C_k}{2^{2k+1}}$ [closed]

How to compute this series: $$\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{C_k}{2^{2k+1}}$$ where $C_k$ is the catalan number: $C_k=\frac{1}{k+1}{2k \choose k}$. (Further, is there any general method to treat this ...

Show a sequence of sums involving Catalan Numbers converges

Let $C_n$ be the $n$-th Catalan Number and let $\mathcal{O}_{s,j} = {{2s-j-1}\choose{j}} C_{s-j}^2$. Then we want to consider $\mathcal{E}_s = \sum_{j=0}^{s-1} (-1)^j\mathcal{O}_{s,j}$. We want to ...

generating $q$-Catalan numbers

An $n$-Dyck path (or a Catalan path) is a lattice path $P$, unit East and North steps, in an $n\times n$ square grid which stays (weakly) above the main diagonal. Let $\square_n$ denote all such paths....
