%N Number of negative formulas with two connectives (-> and *) and no variables.

%C More precisely, a(n) is the number of negative formulas containing n connectives * or ->, n+1 appearances of symbol "f"=false, and parentheses.

%C Each negative formula is either "f", or is of the form "A->N", where A is a simpler affirmative formula and N is a simpler negative formula. Affirmative formulas are precisely those that are not negative.

%C The total number of formulas, both affirmative and negative, with n connectives * or -> is A151374(n).

%F Recurrence: a(0)=1, a(n) = sum_{k=0..n-1} (A151374(k)-a(k)) a(n-k-1).

%F G.f.: (-3 - sqrt(1-8*x) + sqrt(10 + 56*x + 6*sqrt(1-8*x))) / (8*x).

%F The ratio a(n)/A151374(n) converges to 1/2 - 3*sqrt(17)/34 as n->infinity.

%F Asymptotics: a(n) ~ (1/2-3*sqrt(17)/34)*8^n/(sqrt(Pi)*n^(3/2)).

%e a(1)=0 because there are no negative formulas with 1 connective.

%e a(2)=2 because all negative formulas with 2 connectives are: (f->f)->f, (f*f)->f.

%e a(3)=6 because all negative formulas with 3 connectives are: ((f->f)*f)->f, ((f*f)*f)->f, (f->(f->f))->f, (f->(f*f))->f, (f*(f->f))->f, (f*(f*f))->f.
