FORMULA

G.f.: A(x) = sqrt(1+4*x^2)/(sqrt(1+4*x^2) - x).

a(n)=sum(k=1..n-1, (k*sum(j=0..n, j*2^j*(-1)^j*binomial(n,j)*binomial(2*(n-k)-j-1,n-k-1)))/(n*(n-k)))+(-1)^(n-1) n>0, a(0)=1. [From Vladimir Kruchinin (kru(AT)tusur.ru), Apr 17 2011]

a(2*n) = (-3)*a(2*n-2) = (-3)^(n-1), n>=1 ; a(2*n+1) = (-3)*a(2*n-1) - 2*(-1)^n*A000108(n-1). - DELEHAM Philippe, Feb 02 2012

EXAMPLE

G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + x^2 - x^3 - 3*x^4 + x^5 + 9*x^6 + x^7 - 27*x^8 -...

ILLUSTRATION OF G.F.:

A(x) = 1 + x/exp([A(-x)-1] + [A(x)-1]^2/2 + [A(-x)-1]^3/3 + [A(x)-1]^4/4 +...)

RELATED EXPANSION:

Coefficients of 1/A(x) include central binomial coefficients:

[1, -1, 0, 2, 0, -6, 0, 20, 0, -70, 0, 252, 0, -924,...].

From DELEHAM Philippe, Feb 02 2012  : (Start)

a(2) = 1,

a(4) = (-3)*1 = -3,

a(6) = (-3)*(-3) = 9,

a(8) = (-3)*9 = -27,

a(10) = (-3)*(-27) = 81,

a(12) = (3)*81 = -243, etc...

a(1) = 1,

a(3) = (-3)*1 + 2*1 = -1,

a(5) = (-3)*(-1)- 2*1 = 1,

a(7) = (-3)*1 + 2*2 = 1,

a(9) = (-3)*1 - 2*5 = -13,

a(11) = (-3)*(-13) + 2*14 = 67,

a(13) = (-3)*67 - 2*42 = -285,

a(15) = (-3)*(-285) + 2*132 = 1119, etc...(End)

(PARI) {a(n)=local(A=1+x+x*O(x^n)); for(i=1, n, A=1+x*exp(-sum(k=1, n, (subst(A, x, (-1)^k*x+x*O(x^n))-1)^k/k))); polcoeff(A, n)}

(Maxima)

a(n):=sum((k*sum(j*2^j*(-1)^j*binomial(n, j)*binomial(2*(n-k)-j-1, n-k-1), j, 0, n))/(n*(n-k)), k, 1, n-1)+(-1)^(n-1); [From Vladimir Kruchinin (kru(AT)tusur.ru), Apr 17 2011]
