FORMULA
a(n) = n*A000108(n)*A181168(n) = C(2n,n-1)*A181168(n) for n>0, with a(0)=1.
a(n) = A000108(n)*A002190(n+1), where A002190 describes the coefficients in -log(BesselJ(0,2*sqrt(x))) and A000108 is the Catalan numbers. - Paul D. Hanna, Oct 09 2010
Differentiating -log(BesselJ(0,2*sqrt(x))) and substituting z=z^2 gives the e.g.f. Sum_{n>=0} a(n) * z^(2*n)/(2n)! = BesselJ(1,2*z)/z/BesselJ(0,2*z). Consequently, using Gauss' continued fraction, this e.g.f. is also: 1/(1-z^2/(2-z^2/(3-z^2/(4-z^2/(5-z^2/...))))). - Matthieu Josuat-Vergès, Apr 17 2011
E.g.f.: U(0) where U(k) = 1 - x^2/(x^2 - (k+1)*(k+2)/U(k+1)); (continued fraction, 2-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 15 2012
a(n) ~ c * d^n * (n!)^2 / sqrt(n), where d = 16/BesselJZero[0,1]^2 = 2.76664110449031883070186935..., c = 4/(sqrt(Pi)*BesselJZero[0,1]^2) = 0.390227523142124366836071453... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 31 2014
EXAMPLE
E.g.f.: E(x) = 1 + x^2/2! + 8*x^4/4! + 165*x^6/6! + 6384*x^8/8! +...
where the e.g.f. equals the continued fraction:
E(x) = 1/(1 - x^2/(2 - x^2/(3 - x^2/(4 - x^2/(5 - x^2/(6 - x^2/(7 - x^2/(8 - x^2/(9 - x^2/(10 - ...)))))))))). [Due to Matthieu Josuat-Vergès]
Illustrate the g.f. by the series:
1 = 1*(1 - x + x^2 - x^3 + x^4 - x^5 + x^6 - x^7 +...)
+ 1*x*(1 - 3^2*x + 6^2*x^2 - 10^2*x^3 + 15^2*x^4 - 21^2*x^5 +...)
+ 8*x^2*(1 - 5^2*x + 15^2*x^2 - 35^2*x^3 + 70^2*x^4 - 126^2*x^5 +...)
+ 165*x^3*(1 - 7^2*x + 28^2*x^2 - 84^2*x^3 + 210^2*x^4 - 462^2*x^5+...)
+ 6384*x^4*(1 - 9^2*x + 45^2*x^2 - 165^2*x^3 + 495^2*x^4 +...)
+ 397320*x^5*(1 - 11^2*x + 66^2*x^2 - 286^2*x^3 + 1001^2*x^4 +...)
+ 36273600*x^6*(1 - 13^2*x + 91^2*x^2 - 455^2*x^3 + 1820^2*x^4 +...)
+ 4566166605*x^7*(1 - 15^2*x + 120^2*x^2 - 680^2*x^3 + 3060^2*x^4 +...)
+...
Compare to a g.f. of the Catalan numbers (A000108):
1 = 1*(1 - x + x^2 - x^3 + x^4 - x^5 + x^6 - x^7 +...)
+ 1*x*(1 - 3*x + 6*x^2 - 10*x^3 + 15*x^4 - 21*x^5 +...)
+ 2*x^2*(1 - 5*x + 15*x^2 - 35*x^3 + 70*x^4 - 126*x^5 +...)
+ 5*x^3*(1 - 7*x + 28*x^2 - 84*x^3 + 210*x^4 - 462*x^5 +...)
+ 14*x^4*(1 - 9*x + 45*x^2 - 165*x^3 + 495*x^4 - 1287*x^5 +...)
+ 42*x^5*(1 - 11*x + 66*x^2 - 286*x^3 + 1001*x^4 - 3003*x^5 +...)
+ 132*x^6*(1 - 13*x + 91*x^2 - 455*x^3 + 1820*x^4 - 6188*x^5 +...)
+...
Surprisingly, terms a(n) are divisible by n*A000108(n) for n>0:
a(2)=2*2*2, a(3)=3*5*11, a(4)=4*14*114, a(5)=5**42*1892, a(6)=6*132*45800, a(7)=7*429*1520535, ..., a(n)=n*A000108(n)*A181168(n).
