FORMULA

Contribution from Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Nov 26 2009: (Start)

G.f.: A(x) = [x/Series_Reversion(x*F(x)^2)]^(1/2) where F(x) = g.f. of A005568, where A005568(n) is the product of two successive Catalan numbers C(n)*C(n+1).

G.f.: A(x) = F(x/A(x)^2) where A(x*F(x)^2) = F(x) where F(x) = g.f. of A005568.

G.f.: A(x) = G(x/A(x)) where A(x*G(x)) = G(x) where F(x) = g.f. of A168450.

G.f.: A(x) = x/Series_Reversion(x*G(x)) where G(x) = g.f. of A168450.

Self-convolution yields A168451.
