FORMULA
a(n) = (sum(k=1..2*n, (2*n+k)!*sum(j=1..k, (-1)^(j)/(k-j)!*((sum(l=0..j-1, (1/((j-l)!*l!)*sum(m=j-l..2*n-l+j, binomial(m-1,-l+j-1)*m!*2^(2*n-m+j)*(-1)^(n+m)*Stirling2(2*n-l+j,m)))/(2*n-l+j)!)))))), n>0, a(0)=1.
From Peter Bala, Aug 06 2012: (Start)
Alternative form of the o.g.f: x/2 - (1/2)*(x - 2*atan(x))^<-1> = x/2 - (1/2)*(Integral_{t = 0..x} 1/f(t) dt)^<-1>, where f(x) = (x^2+1)/(x^2-1) and <-1> denotes series reversion w.r.t. x.
Applying Theorem 4.1 of Dominici to invert the integral gives the result: for n >= 1, a(n) = (1/2)*D^(2*n+1)(x) evaluated at x = 0, where D is the operator (1+x^2)/(1-x^2)*d/dx.
Applying Theorem 1 of Bergeron et al. gives an interpretation for the sequence as counting a variety of trees defined by the degree function phi(x) = (1+x^2)/(1-x^2) = 1 + 2*x^2 + 2*x^4 + .... We find for n >= 1 that 2*a(n) gives the number of rooted increasing plane (ordered) trees on (2*n+1) vertices with no vertices of odd outdegree and where the vertices of even outdegree come in two colors.
