COMMENTS

A permutation w has a double fall at k if w(k) > w(k+1) > w(k+2) and has an initial fall if w(1) > w(2).

E.g.f. A(x) satisfies A' = 1 - A + A^2. - Michael Somos, Oct 04 2003

exp(x*(1-y+y^2)*D_y)*f(y)|_{y=0} = f(1-E(-x)) for any function f with a Taylor series. D_y means differentiation with respect to y and E(x) is the e.g.f. given below. For a proof of exp(x*g(y)*D_y)*f(y) = f(F^{-1}(x+F(y))) with the compositional inverse F^{-1} of F(y)=int(1/g(y),y) with F(0)=0 see, e.g., the Datolli et al. reference.

a(n) = number of increasing ordered trees on vertex set {1,2,...,n}, rooted at 1, in which all outdegrees are <=2. - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Mar 30 2007

FORMULA

E.g.f.: ( 1 + 1/sqrt(3) * tan( sqrt(3)/2 * x) ) / ( 1 - 1/sqrt(3) * tan( sqrt(3)/2 * x) ).

Recurrence: a(n+1) = sum( binomial(n, k) * a(k) * a(n-k), k = 0 .. n) - a(n) + 0^n.

E.g.f.: E(x)=(3*cos(1/2*3^(1/2)*x)+(3^(1/2))*sin(1/2*3^(1/2)*x))/(3*cos(1/2*3^(1/2)*x)-(3^(1/2))* sin(1/2*3^(1/2)*x)). See the M. Somos comment. W. Lang (wolfdieter.lang_AT_physik_DOT_uni-karlsruhe_DOT_de), Sep 12 2005.

O.g.f.: A(x) = 1+x/(1-x-2*x^2/(1-2*x-2*3*x^2/(1-3*x-3*4*x^2/(1-... -n*x-n*(n+1)*x^2/(1- ...))))) (continued fraction). - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Jan 17 2006.

From Peter Bala [Start]

An alternative form of the e.g.f. for this sequence taken from

[BERGERON et al.] is

(1)... sqrt(3)/2*tan(sqrt(3)/2*x+Pi/6) [with constant term 1/2].

By comparing the egf for this sequence with the egf for the Eulerian

numbers A008292 we can show that

(2)... a(n) = A(n,w)/(1+w)^(n-1) for n>=1,

where w = exp(2*Pi*I/3) and {A(n,x),n>=1} = [1, 1+x, 1+4*x+x^2,

1+11*x+11*x^2+x^3,...] denotes the sequence of Eulerian polynomials.

Equivalently,

(3)... a(n) = (-I*sqrt(3))^(n-1)*sum {k = 1..n} k!*Stirling2(n,k)*

(-1/2+sqrt(3)*I/6)^(k-1) for n>=1,

and

(4)... a(n) = (-I*sqrt(3))^(n-1)*sum {k = 1..n} (-1/2+sqrt(3)*I/6)^(k-1)*

sum {j = 0..k} (-1)^(k-j)*binomial(k,j)*j^n for n>=1.

This explicit formula for a(n) may be used to obtain various

congruence results. For example,

(5a)... a(p) = 1 (mod p) for prime p = 6*n+1,

(5b)... a(p) = -1 (mod p) for prime p = 6*n+5.

For the corresponding results for the case of non-plane unary-binary

trees see A000111. For type B results see A001586. For a related sequence

of polynomials see A185415. See also A185416 for a recursive method to

compute this sequence. For forests of plane increasing unary binary trees

see A185422 and A185423.

Let f(x) = 1+x+x^2. Then a(n+1) = (f(x)*d/dx)^n f(x) evaluated at x = 0. - Peter Bala, Oct 06 2011

EXAMPLE

E.g.f = 1 + x + x^2/2 + x^3/2 + 3/8*x^4 + 13/40*x^5 + 21/80*x^6 + ...

a(4)=9. The 9 plane (ordered) increasing unary-binary trees are
