COMMENTS

Second inverse binomial transform of A001405. Hankel transform of this sequence gives A000012 = [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,...].

Also the expansion of real root of y+y^2=x, With offset 1, series reversion of x+x^2. [Robert G. Wilson v]

FORMULA

a(n) = (-1)^n*A000108(n). G.f.: (sqrt(1+4x)-1)/2x.

E.g.f.: exp(-2*x)*(BesselI(0, 2*x)+BesselI(1, 2*x)). - Peter Luschny, Aug 26 2012

(n+1)*a(n) +2*(2*n-1)*a(n-1)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Oct 06 2012

G.f.: 1 / (1 + x / (1 + x / (1 + x / ...))). - Michael Somos, Jan 03 2013

G.f.: 1/(x*Q(0)) - 1/x, where Q(k)= 1 - (4*k+1)*x/(k+1 - x*(2*k+2)*(4*k+3)/(2*x*(4*k+3) - (2*k+3)/Q(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, May 15 2013
