COMMENTS

See triangle A064334 with columns m built from C(-m; n), m >= 0, also for Derrida et al. references.

Unsigned sequence with a(0) := 0 is A000957 (Fine).

Table of n, a(n) for n=0..25.

FORMULA

a(n)= sum((n-m)*binomial(n-1+m, m)*((-1)^m)/n, m=0..n-1) = ((1/2)^n)*(1+sum(C(k)*(-2)^k, k=0..n-1)), n >= 1, a(0) := 1; with C(n)=A000108(n) (Catalan).

G.f.: (1+x*c(-x)/2)/(1-x/2) = 1/(1-x*c(-x)) with c(x) g.f. of Catalan numbers A000108.

a(n) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} (-1)^(n-k)*A106566(n, k) . - Philippe DELEHAM, Sep 18 2005

(-1)^n*a(n)=Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}A039599(n,k)*(-2)^k . - Philippe DELEHAM, Mar 13 2007

Conjecture: 2*n*a(n) +(7*n-12)*a(n-1) +2*(-2*n+3)*a(n-2)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Dec 02 2012
