FORMULA

Recurrence: {a(1)=2, (-8+16*n)*a(n)-(n+1)*a(n+1)}

(1/8)*GAMMA(n+1/2)/(GAMMA(n+2)*Pi^(1/2)*16^(n+1))

Given g.f. A(x), then B(x)=A(x)-x series reversion is -B(-x). - Michael Somos Sep 08 2005

Given g.f. A(x), then B(x)=A(x)-x satisfies B(x)=x+8*C(16*x*B(x)) where C(x) is g.f. for Catalan number A000108.

G.f. A(x) = 2*x*C(4*x) where C(x) is g.f. for Catalan number A000108.

G.f.: (1-sqrt(1-16*x))/4 = (4*x)/(1+sqrt(1-16*x)). a(n-1)=2^(2n+1)c(n) where c(n) is Catalan numbers A000108.

MAPLE
