COMMENTS

A variant of the Motzkin numbers: see A001006 for the main entry.

Equals row sums of triangle A144218 starting with "1". [From Gary W. Adamson, Sep 14 2008]

Starting (1, 1, 1,...) = inverse binomial transform of A014137: (1, 2, 4, 9, 23, 65,...). [From Gary W. Adamson, Apr 02 2009]

FORMULA

Series reversion of g.f. A(x) is -A(-x).

a(n)+a(n-1)=a(0)*a(n)+a(1)*a(n-1)+...+a(n)*a(0), n>2.

G.f. A(x) satisfies 0=f(x, A(x)) where f(x, y)=x-y-x*y+x^2+y^2.

G.f. A(x) satisfies 0=f(x, A(x)) where f(x, y)=(y^2-y^3)-(x^2+x^3).

G.f.: (1+x-sqrt(1-2x-3x^2))/2.

G.f. A(x) satisfies A(x) = x+C(x*A(x)) where C(x) is g.f. for Catalan numbers A000108 (offset 1).

G.f.: (1+x-sqrt(1-2*x-3*x^2))/2 = (x+x/G(0))/2 where G(k) = 1-2*x/(1+x/(1+x/(1-2*x/(1-x/(2-x/G(k+1)))))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Dec 11 2011

G.f.: x + x^2*Q(0), where Q(k)=  1 + x/(1 - x - x/(x + 1/Q(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Apr 25 2013

G.f.: x*Q(0), where Q(k)= 1 + (4*k+1)*x/((1+x)*(k+1) - x*(1+x)*(2*k+2)*(4*k+3)/(x*(8*k+6)+(2*k+3)*(1+x)/Q(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, May 14 2013
