a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-2)^(n-k)*Stirling2(n, k). - Vladeta Jovovic, Apr 04 2003
Recurrence equation: a(n+1) = Sum_{k = 0..n} (-2)^(n-k)*C(n,k)*a(k). Written umbrally this is a(n+1) = (a-2)^n (expand the binomial and replace a^k with a(k)). More generally, a*f(a) = f(a-2) holds umbrally for any polynomial f(x). An inductive argument then establishes the umbral recurrence a*(a+2)*(a+4)*...*(a+2*(n-1)) = 1 with a(0) = 1. Cf. A004211.
Touchard's congruence holds for odd prime p: a(p+k) = (a(k) + a(k+1)) (mod p) for k = 0,1,2, ... (adapt the proof of Theorem 10.1 in Gessel). In particular, a(p) = 2 (mod p) for odd prime p. (End)
Continued fractions:
G.f.: (1/E(0)-1)/x where E(k)= 1 - x/(1 - 2*x + 2*x*(k+1)/E(k+1));
G.f.: 1 +x/G(0) where G(k)= 1 + 2*x/(1 + 1/(1 + 4*x*(k+1)/G(k+1)));
G.f.: (G(0) - 1)/(x-1) where G(k) = 1 - 1/(1+x*2*k)/(1-x/(x-1/G(k+1)));
G.f.: 1/Q(0) where Q(k)= 1 - x/(1 + 2*x*(k+1)/Q(k+1) );
G.f.: Q(0)/(1-x), where Q(k) = 1 - 2*x^2*(k+1)/( 2*x^2*(k+1) + (1-x+2*x*k)*(1+x+2*x*k)/Q(k+1)). (End)
Lim sup n->infinity (abs(a(n))/n!)^(1/n) / (2*abs(exp(1/LambertW(-2*n)) / LambertW(-2*n))) = 1. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 04 2014
G.f. A(x) satisfies: A(x) = 1 + x*A(x/(1 + 2*x))/(1 + 2*x). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, May 02 2019
