A134988 Number of formal expressions obtained by applying iterated binary brackets to n indexed symbols x_1, ..., x_n such that: 1) each symbol appears exactly once; 2) the smallest index inside a bracket appears on the left hand side and the largest index appears on the right hand side; 3) the outer bracket is the only bracket whose set of indices is a sequence of consecutive integers. 0
