%N Shifts one place left under the square binomial transform (A008459): a(0) = 1, a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} C(n-1,k)^2*a(k).

%C Equals the main diagonal of symmetric square array A101515 shift right.

%C Empirical: a(n) = sum((number of standard immaculate tableaux of shape m)^2, m|=n), where this sum is over all compositions m of n > 0. - _John M. Campbell_, Jul 07 2017

%F E.g.f. satisfies: B(x)/A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} x^n/n!^2 where A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n/n!^2 and B(x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n+1)*x^n/n!^2. - _Paul D. Hanna_, Oct 10 2014

%e The binomial transform of the rows of the term-wise product of this sequence with the rows of Pascal's triangle produces the symmetric square array A101515, in which the main diagonal equals this sequence shift left:

%e BINOMIAL[1*1] = [(1),1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,...],

%e BINOMIAL[1*1,1*1] = [1,(2),3,4,5,6,7,8,9,...],

%e BINOMIAL[1*1,1*2,2*1] = [1,3,(7),13,21,31,43,57,73,...],

%e BINOMIAL[1*1,1*3,2*3,7*1] = [1,4,13,(35),77,146,249,393,...],

%e BINOMIAL[1*1,1*4,2*6,7*4,35*1] = [1,5,21,77,(236),596,1290,...],

%e BINOMIAL[1*1,1*5,2*10,7*10,35*5,236*1] = [1,6,31,146,596,(2037),...],...

%e Thus the square binomial transform shifts this sequence one place left:

%e a(5) = 236 = 1^2*(1) + 4^2*(1) + 6^2*(2) + 4^2*(7) + 1^2*(35),

%e a(6) = 2037 = 1^2*(1) + 5^2*(1) + 10^2*(2) + 10^2*(7) + 5^2*(35) + 1^2*(236).
