COMMENTS
Number of irreducible stack sortable permutations of degree n.
Also number of Dyck paths of semilength n with no UDUD. Example: a(3)=3 because the only Dyck paths of semilength 3 with no UDUD in them are: UDUUDD, UUDDUD and UUUDDD (the nonqualifying ones being UUDUDD and UDUDUD). - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 27 2003
From Paul Barry, Jan 29 2009: (Start)
The sequence 1,1,1,3,7,19,... has general term sum{k=0..n, C(n+k,2k)*(-1)^(n-k)*A006318(k)} and g.f. given by
1/(1+x-2x/(1+x-x/(1+x-2x/(1+x-x/(1+x-2x/(1+x-x/(1-..... (continued fraction). (End)

FORMULA
G.f.: (1 - x - x^2 - (1 - 2*x - 5*x^2 - 2*x^3 + x^4)^(1/2)) / (2*x + 2*x^2) = -1 + 2*(1 + x) / (1 + x + x^2 + sqrt((1 - x + x^2)^2 - 8*x^2)).
G.f. A(x) satisfies A(x) = x + (x + x^2) * (A(x) + A(x)^2). - Michael Somos, Sep 08 2005
Given g.f. A(x), then series reversion of B(x) = x + x*A(x) is -B(-x). - Michael Somos, Sep 08 2005
Given g.f. A(x), then B(x) = x + x*A(x) satisfies 0 = f(x, B(x)) where f(u, v) = u^2*(v + v^2) + u*(1 + v + v^2) - v. - Michael Somos, Sep 08 2005
Given g.f. A(x), then B(x) = x + x*A(x) satisfies B(x) = x + C(x*B(x)) where C(x) is g.f. of A006318 with offset 1. - Michael Somos, Sep 08 2005
D-finite with recurrence: (n+1)*a(n) +(-n+2)*a(n-1) +(-7*n+11)*a(n-2) +(-7*n+17)*a(n-3) +(-n+2)*a(n-4) +(n-5)*a(n-5)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 26 2012
a(n) = sum(k=0..n, ((sum(i=0..n-k, binomial(k+1,n-k-i)*binomial(k+i,k)))*binomial(n-k-2,k))/(k+1)), n>0, a(0)=0. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Nov 22 2014.
a(n) ~ sqrt(2 - 1/sqrt(2) + sqrt(7*(4*sqrt(2)-5)/2)) * ((1 + 2*sqrt(2) + sqrt(5 + 4*sqrt(2)))/2)^n / (2 * n^(3/2) * sqrt(Pi)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 27 2015
