COMMENTS

For n>1: central terms of the triangle in A173333; cf. A001761, A001813. [From Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Feb 19 2010]

Can be obtained from the Vandermonde permanent of the first n positive integers; see A203468.  [From Clark Kimberling, Jan 02 2012]

E.g.f. (A(x)-1) is reversion of F(x)=exp(-x)-exp(-2*x). [From Vladimir Kruchinin, Jan 30 2012]

FORMULA

E.g.f. for a(n+1), n >= 1, ln(c(x)); c(x) = g.f. for Catalan numbers A000108 - Wolfdieter Lang (wolfdieter.lang(AT)physik.uni-karlsruhe.de)

Integral representation as n-th moment of a positive function on a positive half-axis, in Maple notation: a(n)=int(x^n*erfc(sqrt(x)/2)/2, x=0..infinity), n=0, 1..., where erfc(x) is the complementary error function. - Karol A. Penson (penson(AT)lptl.jussieu.fr), Sep 27 2001

a(n) ~ 2^(-5/2)*n^-2*2^(2*n)*e^-n*n^n - Joe Keane (jgk(AT)jgk.org), Jun 06 2002
