COMMENTS

The binomial transform of A000995 has g.f. x*c(x)^2/(1+x^2*c(x)^2). - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 06 2007

Equals row sums of triangle A137854 such that A000995(3) = 1 = first row of triangle A137854. - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Feb 15 2008

a(n) is the number of permutations of [n-1] that avoid both of the dashed patterns 1-23 and 3-12 and start with an ascent (or are empty). For example, a(5)=4 counts 1432, 2314, 2431, 3421. - David Callan Dec 02 2011

FORMULA

Since this satisfies a recurrence similar to that of the Bell numbers (A000110), the asymptotic behavior is presumably just as complicated - see A000110 for details.

However, A000994(n)/A000995(n) [ e.g. 77464/63117 ] -> 1.228..., the constant in A051148 and A051149.

O.g.f.: A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} x^(2*n+1)/Product_{k=0..n} (1-k*x)^2 . - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Oct 28 2006

G.f.: (1+2x^2*c(x)^2)/(1+x^2*c(x^2)), c(x) the g.f. of A000108; - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 06 2007

EXAMPLE

A(x) = x + x^3/(1-x)^2 + x^5/((1-x)*(1-2x))^2 + x^7/((1-x)*(1-2x)*(1-3x))^2 +...

MAPLE

A000995 := proc(n) local k; option remember; if n <= 1 then n else n + add(binomial(n, k)*A000995(k - 2), k = 2 .. n); fi; end;

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := a[n] = If[n <= 1, n, n + Sum[Binomial[n, k]*a[k-2], {k, 2, n}]]; Join[{0, 1}, Table[a[n], {n, 0, 24}]]

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=polcoeff(sum(k=0, n, x^(2*k+1)/prod(j=0, k, 1-j*x+x*O(x^n))^2), n) - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Oct 28 2006
