FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{m=1..n} (-1)^(m+1)*A049029(n,m), n>=1.
E.g.f.: (from Jabotinsky structure): 1-exp(1-1/(1-4*x)^(1/4)).
a(n) = y(n), where y(0) = -1, y(1) = 1, y(2) = 4, y(3) = 31, y(4) = 359, and -32*k*(1 + k)*(1 + 2 k)*(1 + 4 k)*(3 + 4 k)*y(k) + (1679 + 5920 k + 8080 k^2 + 5120 k^3 + 1280 k^4)*y(k+1) + (-2550 - 4580 k - 2880 k^2 - 640 k^3)*y(k+2) + (675 + 640 k + 160 k^2)*y(k+3) + (-50 - 20 k)*y(k+4) + y(k+5) = 0. - Benedict W.
