Superseeker error?

Hi Niel, 

I should have mentioned that I was referring to the first of the two
headers. The first header is :

TEST: APPLY VARIOUS TRANSFORMATIONS TO SEQUENCE AND LOOK IT
UP IN THE ENCYCLOPEDIA AGAIN

under which I get the following match:

Transformation T020 gave a match with:
%I A003500 M1278
%S A003500
2,4,14,52,194,724,2702,10084,37634,140452,524174,1956244,7300802,
 
The second header is 

TEST: APPLY VARIOUS TRANSFORMATIONS TO SEQUENCE AND
CHECK AGAINST FIRST DIFFERENCES OF SEQUENCES IN OEIS

T020  sequence u[j+3]-3*u[j+2]-3*u[j+1]+u[j]

which gives the match you are refering to. I stopped everything when I
saw the above- including checking for your match from further down the
page.  

Sincerely, 
Creighton

 There is no error.  Creighton, you submitted this sequence:
[ 0,1,3,10,36,133,495,1846,6888,25705,95931,358018,1336140]
Here are the first, second and third differences:

The latter sequence does match A003500, just
as Superseeker says:

Transformation T020 gave a match with:
%I A003500 M1278
%S A003500
2,4,14,52,194,724,2702,10084,37634,140452,524174,1956244,7300802,

%N A003500 a(n) = 4a(n-1) - a(n-2).

daughter expressing that she and her friend Sonja are exactly the same
height)
