COMMENTS

a(n+1)=number of compositions (p_1,p_2,...) of n with 1<=p_i<=i for all i. a(n+1)=number of Dyck n-paths with strictly increasing peaks. To get the correspondence, given such a Dyck path, split the path after the first up step reaching height i, i=1,2,...,h where h is the path's maximum height and count up steps in each block. Example: U-U-DUU-U-DDDD has been split as specified, yielding the composition (1,1,2,1). - David Callan, Feb 18 2004

FORMULA

G.f.: A(x) = 1 + Sum_{n>=1} x^n * Product_{k=1..n} (1-x^k)/(1-x). - Paul D. Hanna, Mar 20 2003

G.f.: A(x) = 1/(1 - x/(1+x) /(1 - x/(1+x+x^2) /(1 - x/(1+x+x^2+x^3) /(1 - x/(1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4) /(1 - x/(1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5) /(1 -...)))))), a continued fraction. - Paul D. Hanna, May 15 2012

limit(n->infinity) a(n+1)/a(n) = 2. - Mats Granvik, Feb 22 2011

EXAMPLE

G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + x^2 + 2*x^3 + 3*x^4 + 6*x^5 + 11*x^6 + 21*x^7 +...

The g.f. equals the following series involving q-factorials:

A(x) = 1 + x + x^2*(1+x) + x^3*(1+x)*(1+x+x^2) + x^4*(1+x)*(1+x+x^2)*(1+x+x^2+x^3) + x^5*(1+x)*(1+x+x^2)*(1+x+x^2+x^3)*(1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4) +...

From Joerg Arndt, Dec 28 2012: (Start)

There are a(7+1)=21 compositions p(1)+p(2)+...+p(m)=7 such that p(k)<=k:

[ 3]  [ 1 1 1 1 2 1 ]
