COMMENTS

For a refinement of these numbers see A185896.

A signed permutation is a sequence (x_1,x_2,...,x_n) of integers such that {|x_1|,|x_2|,...|x_n|} = {1,2...,n}. Let x_1,...,x_n be a signed permutation. Then we say 0,x_1,...,x_n,0 is a snake of type S(n;0,0) when 0 < x_1 > x_2 < ... 0. For example, 0 4 -3 -1 -2 0 is a snake of type S(4;0,0). Then a(n) equals the cardinality of S(n;0,0) [Verges]. An example is given below. - Peter Bala, Sept 02 2011

Original name was: E.g.f. cos(x)*(cos(x)+sin(x)) /cos(2*x). [Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Jul 25 2012]

Number of plane (that is, ordered) increasing 0-1-2 trees on n vertices where the vertices of outdegree 1 or 2 come in two colors. An example is given below. - Peter Bala, Oct 10 2012

FORMULA

E.g.f.: 1/(1- tan(x)) - Emeric Deutsch, Sep 10 2001

a(n) = A000831(n)/2 for n>0. [Peter Luschny, Nov 25 2010]

a(n)=sum(evenp(n+k), k=1..n, (-1)^((n+k)/2)*sum(j=k..n, j!/n!*stirling2(n,j)*2^(n-j)*(-1)^(n+j-k)*binomial(j-1,k-1)), n>0 [From Vladimir Kruchinin, Aug 18 2010]

a(n) = (-1)^((n^2-n)/2)*4^n*(E_{n}(1/2)+E_{n}(1))/2 for n >= 0, where E_{n}(x) is an Euler polynomial. [Peter Luschny, Nov 25 2010]

a(n) = (2*I)^(n-1)*sum {k = 1..n} (-1)^(n-k)*k!* Stirling2(n,k) *

((1-I)/2)^(k-1), where I = sqrt(-1).

a(n) = 2^(n-1)*A000111(n) for n >= 1.

Let f(x) = 1+x^2 and define the effect of the operator D on a function g(x) by D(g(x)) = d/dx(f(x)*g(x)). Then for n >= 0, a(n+1) = D^n(1) evaluated at x = 1. - Peter Bala, Sept 02 2011

G.f.: 1 + x/(G(0) - x) ; G(k) =  2*k + 1 - (x^2)/G(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Dec 09 2011

G.f.: 1 / (1 - 1*x / (1 - 1*x / (1 - 4*x / (1 - 2*6*x^2 / (1 - 6*x / (1 - 4*x / (1 - 4*x / (1 - 10*x / (1 - 5*12*x^2 / (1 - 12*x / ...)))))))))). - Michael Somos, May 12 2012

E.g.f.: 1+x/(U(0)-2*x) where U(k)= 4*k+1 + x/(1+x/(4*k+3 - x/(1- x/U(k+1)))); (continued fraction, 4-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 08 2012

E.g.f.: 1+x/(U(0)-x) where U(k)= 2*k+1 - x^2/U(k+1); (continued fraction, 1-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Dec 04 2012

G.f.: 1 + x/G(0) where G(k) =  1 - x*(2*k+2) - 2*x^2*(k+1)*(k+2)/G(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jan 11 2013.

E.g.f.: 1 + x/T(0) where T(k) = 4*k+1 - x/(1 - x/(4*k+3 + x/(1 + x/T(k+1) ))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Mar 17 2013

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 8: The eight snakes of type S(3;0,0) are

0 1 -2 3 0, 0 1 -3 2 0, 0 2 1 3 0, 0 2 -1 3 0, 0 2 -3 1 0,

0 3 1 2 0, 0 3 -1 2 0, 0 3 -2 1 0.

1 + x + 2*x^2 + 8*x^3 + 40*x^4 + 256*x^5 + 1952*x^6 + 17408*x^7 + ...

a(3) = 8: The eight increasing 0-1-2 trees on 3 vertices are
