Comments

a(n-1) is the number of rows with the value false in the truth tables of all bracketed implications with n distinct variables. - Volkan Yildiz, Jul 01 2011

From Peter Bala, Aug 02 2016: (Start)

Conjectures (both checked up to n = 100):

2-adic valuation of a(2*n+1) = 2-adic valuation of Catalan(2*n+1) (= 2-adic valuation of Catalan(n));

2-adic valuation of a(2*n) = 3 + 2-adic valuation of Catalan(n-2) for n >= 2, where Catalan(n) = A000108(n). (End)

a(n) is the number of Dyck paths of semi-length n using only steps U_1 = (4,2), U_2 = (9,3) and D = (1,-1). - Michael D. Weiner, Jun 12 2017

Formula

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

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(k,n-k)*binomial(n+2*k,n+k)/(n+k+1). - Vladimir Kruchinin, May 12 2011

From Volkan Yildiz, Jul 03 2011: (Start)

Let f(n) = Sum_{i=1..n-1} (2^i*C(i-1)-f(i))*f(n-i), with f(0)=0, f(1)=1, and where C are the Catalan numbers A000108. Then a(n)=f(n+1).

G.f.: (1/x) * (-1-sqrt(1-8*x)+sqrt(2+2*sqrt(1-8*x)+8*x))/4.

For large n, a(n) is asymptotically (3-sqrt(3))/3* 2^(3*n)/sqrt(Pi*n^3), corrected by Vaclav Kotesovec, May 31 2014. (End)

O.g.f. satisfies A(x^2) = 1/x * Series_Reversion( x*(1 - x^2)/(1 + x^4) ). - Peter Bala, Aug 02 2016

Example

G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 4*x^2 + 19*x^3 + 104*x^4 + 614*x^5 + 3816*x^6 + ...

Maple

A(x):= 1/x * (-1-sqrt(1-8*x)+sqrt(2+2*sqrt(1-8*x)+8*x))/4 ;
