Uses the same recursive operation as A000085.

Eigensequence of an infinite lower triangular matrix with (1, 1, 1,...)

as the main diagonal and (0, 2, 3, 4, 5,...) as the subdiagonal.

To generate A000085, replace the "0" in the subdiagonal with "1". (End)

FORMULA

Contribution from Paul D. Hanna, Aug 23 2011: (Start)

E.g.f. satisfies: A(x) = 1 + (1+x)*Integral A(x) dx.

E.g.f. satisfies: A(x) = A'(x)/(1+x) - (A(x)-1)/(1+x)^2.

If offset 1, then e.g.f. A(x) satisfies: F(A(x)) = 1 + x, where F(x) equals the e.g.f. of A173895 and satisfies: F'(x) = 1/(1 + x*F(x)). (End)

a(n)/a(n-1) = sqrt(n)+1/2+o(1) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Jul 02 2004

EXAMPLE

E.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 3*x^2/2! + 6*x^3/3! + 18*x^4/4! + 48*x^5/5! + 156*x^6/6! +...

If offset 1, then e.g.f. A(x) = x + x^2/2! + 3*x^3/3! + 6*x^4/4! + 18*x^5/5! + 48*x^6/6! + 156*x^7/7! +...+ a(n-1)*x^n/n! +...

satisfies F(A(x)) = 1 + x, where F(x) = e.g.f. of A173895:

F(x) = 1 + x - x^2/2! + 9*x^4/4! - 48*x^5/5! + 15*x^6/6! + 2448*x^7/7! +...
