FORMULA

a(n) = (n-2)!*Sum_{i=1..n-1} (-1)^(i+1)*C(n-i+1,i+1)*a(n-i)/(n-i-1)! for n>1 with a(1)=1. E.g.f. satisfies: A(x) = (1-x)^2/(1-2x)*A(x-x^2) where A(x) = Sum_{n>=0}a(n+1)*x^n/n! with offset so that A(0)=1. - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Dec 27 2007

MATHEMATICA

max = 19; f[x_] := Sum[a[n+1]*x^n/n!, {n, 0, max}]; coes = CoefficientList[ Series[ f[x]-((1-x)^2/(1-2*x))*f[x-x^2], {x, 0, max}], x]; Array[a, max] /. Solve[a[1] == a[2] == 1 && Thread[coes == 0]][[1]] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Nov 03 2011 *)

PROG

(PARI) {a(n)=if(n<1, 0, if(n==1, 1, (n-2)!*sum(i=1, n-1, (-1)^(i+1)*binomial(n-i+1, i+1)*a(n-i)/(n-i-1)!)))} - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Dec 27 2007
