Formula

a(n+1) = Sum_{i=0..n} q^i*a(i)*a(n-i) with q=-7, and a(0) = 1.

G.f. satisfies: A(x) = 1 / (1 - x*A(-7*x)) = 1/(1-x/(1+7*x/(1-7^2*x/(1+7^3*x/(1-...))))) (continued fraction). - Seiichi Manyama, Dec 28 2016

Example

G.f. = 1 + x - 6*x^2 - 307*x^3 + 104742*x^4 + 251699498*x^5 + ...

Mathematica

m = 11; ContinuedFractionK[If[i == 1, 1, -(-7)^(i - 2) x], 1, {i, 1, m}] + O[x]^m // CoefficientList[#, x]& {* Jean-François Alcover, Nov 17 2019 *)
