FORMULA
a(n) = (2*n-2)*a(n-1)-(2*n-3)*a(n-2) with a(1)=0, a(2)=1. - Emeric Deutsch and Ira M. Gessel, Dec 19 2004
G.f.: A(x)=x/(1-x)/(U(0)-x), where U(k)= (2*k+1)*x + 1 - (2*k+3)*x/U(k+1); (continued fraction Euler's 1st kind, 1-step ). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jun 27 2012
MAPLE
a[1]:=0: a[2]:=1: for n from 3 to 30 do a[n]:=(2*n-2)*a[n-1]-(2*n-3)*a[n-2] od:seq(a[j], j=1..18); # Emeric Deutsch, Dec 20 2004
MATHEMATICA
