G.f. for a(n) = C(2n,n)*Sum_{k=0..2n} T(n,k)/C(2n,k) ?

[Max Alekseyev]

Somewhat simpler o.g.f. formula:

( 8*sqrt(1-4*t*c)*t*c + 8*sqrt(1-4*t)*t*c - 4*b*sqrt(1-4*t)*t*c -
4*sqrt(1-4*t*c)*b*t - 2*sqrt(1-4*t*c)*c - 2*sqrt(1-4*t) +
b*sqrt(1-4*t) + b*sqrt(1-4*t*c) ) / ( 2 * (1-4*t) * (1-4*t*c) *
(-c-1+4*t*c+b-b^2*t) )

Note that being unable to reach the server does only
mean something on the way is down:

traceroute to www.research.att.com (192.20.225.32), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets

From:
http://www.exit109.com/~jeremy/news/providers/traceroute.html

------------------------
A trace can end with one of several error indications indicating why
the trace cannot proceed. In this example, the router is indicating
that it has no route to the target host:



The !H is a "host unreachable" error message (it indicates that an
ICMP error message was received). The trace will stop at this
point. Possible ICMP error messages of this nature include:

!H

------------------------

So it may be the server or the router to the net.

The problem above has been there quite a few times now,
IMHO time to act!

Let's see if the mail server is affected: let me know if you do not
receive this mail  8-))
