FORMULA

Conjecture: G.f.: 1 = Sum_{n>=0} a(n+1)*A000108(n)*x^n*Sum_{k>=0} C(2n+k,k)^2*(-x)^k. Compare with the following g.f of the Catalan numbers (A000108): 1 = Sum_{n>=0} A000108(n)*x^n*Sum_{k>=0} C(2n+k,k)*(-x)^k. [Paul Hanna, Oct 10 2010]

EXAMPLE

-log( Sum_{n>=0} (-x)^n/n!^2 ) = x + x^2/2!^2 + 4*x^3/3!^2 + 33*x^4/4!^2 + 456*x^5/5!^2 + 9460*x^6/6!^2 +... [Paul Hanna, Oct 09 2010]

MAPLE

a:= n-> coeff (series (-ln(BesselJ(0, 2*sqrt(x))), x, n+1), x, n)*(n!)^2; seq (a(n), n=0..30); [Alois Heinz, Oct 10 2010]
