The zero and one terms for the binomial version exist,
but this Narayana number analog has difficulty in Mathematica on the
n=1 term :
Clear[p, x]
p[x_, n_] = (1 - x)^(2*n - 1)*Sum[(Binomial[2*k + n, 2*k] Binomial[2*k
+
n, 1 + 2*k]/(2*k + n))*x^k, {k, 0, Infinity}]
Table[FullSimplify[ExpandAll[p[x, n]]], {n, 0, 10}]
Table[CoefficientList[FullSimplify[ExpandAll[p[x, n]]], x], {n, 0,
10}]
It is probably, like the n equal zero term, one.
Try :
Clear[p, x]
p[x_, n_] = (-1 + x)^(
n + 1)*Sum[Binomial[n + 2*k, 2*k]*x^k, {k, 0, Infinity}]
Table[FullSimplify[ExpandAll[p[x, n]]], {n, 0, 10}]
Table[CoefficientList[FullSimplify[ExpandAll[p[x, n]]], x], {n, 0,
10}]
( see if you can find the really simple Sqrt[x] form for this!)
I wouldn't have any chance doing these without Mathematica.
It also fails several ways on the Eulerian numbers analogs
of these infinite sums which are interesting in what they might look
like.
