Table of n, a(n) for n=0..18.

FORMULA

G.f.: A(x) = (1/x)*Series_Reversion(x/G(x)^2) where G(x) = g.f. of A006664, which is the number of irreducible systems of meanders.

G.f.: A(x) = G(x*A(x))^2 where A(x/G(x)^2) = G(x)^2 where G(x) = g.f. of A006664.

EXAMPLE

G.f.: A(x) = 1 + 2*x + 9*x^2 + 58*x^3 + 458*x^4 + 4120*x^5 +...

A(x)^(1/2) = 1 + x + 4*x^2 + 25*x^3 + 196*x^4 + 1764*x^5 + 17424*x^6 +...+ A001246(n)*x^n +...

A(x) satisfies: A(x/G(x)^2) = G(x)^2 where G(x) = g.f. of A006664:

G(x) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 8*x^3 + 46*x^4 + 322*x^5 + 2546*x^6 +...+ A006664(n)*x^n +...

G(x)^2 = 1 + 2*x + 5*x^2 + 20*x^3 + 112*x^4 + 768*x^5 + 5984*x^6 +...+ A168357(n)*x^n +...

PROG

(PARI) {a(n)=local(C_2=vector(n+1, m, (binomial(2*m-2, m-1)/m)^2)); polcoeff(Ser(C_2)^2, n)}
