FORMULA

G.f.: A(x)=Sum_{n>=0} A005447(n)/A005446(n)x^n satisfies log(A(x))=A(x)-1-x^2/2.

MAPLE

h := proc(k) option remember; local j; `if`(k<=0, 1, (h(k-1)/k-add((h(k-j)*h(j))/(j+1), j=1..k-1))/(1+1/(k+1))) end:

seq(A005447(i), i=0..24); - Peter Luschny, Feb 08 2011

Maple program from N. J. A. Sloane, Jun 23 2011, based on J. Marsaglia's 1986 paper:

a[1]:=1;

M:=25;

for n from 2 to M do

t1:=a[n-1]/(n+1)-add(a[k]*a[n+1-k], k=2..floor(n/2));

if n mod 2 = 1 then t1:=t1-a[(n+1)/2]^2/2; fi;

a[n]:=t1;

od:

s1:=[seq(a[n], n=1..M)];

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=local(A); if(n<1, n==0, A=vector(n, k, 1); for(k=2, n, A[k]=(A[k-1]-sum(i=2, k-1, i*A[i]*A[k+1-i]))/(k+1)); numerator(A[n])) /* Michael Somos Jun 09 2004 */
