Somos 4 conjecture for generalized Schröder Hankel transforms

At least 18 years old · documented by

Let an(p,s,t)a_n(p,s,t) be the generalized Schröder numbers and let hn(p,s,t)h_n(p,s,t) be their Hankel transform. A (α,β)(\alpha,\beta) Somos 44 sequence satisfies

en=αen−1en−3+βen−22en−4.e_n=\frac{\alpha e_{n-1}e_{n-3}+\beta e_{n-2}^2}{e_{n-4}}.

Generalized Schröder Somos 4 conjecture. The Hankel transform hn(p,s,t)h_n(p,s,t) is a ((pst)2,(pt)3(pt−s2))((pst)^2,(pt)^3(pt-s^2)) Somos 44 sequence. This would connect the generalized Schröder Hankel transform with elliptic-curve phenomena associated with Somos 44 recurrences.
