FORMULA
G.f.: (1/2)*log(Sum_{n >= 0} (n+1)!*x^n) = Sum_{n >= 1} a(n)*x^n/n.
G.f.: 1/(1+2*x - 3*x/(1+3*x - 4*x/(1+4*x - ... (continued fraction).
a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..n} 2^(n-k)*A089949(n,k). - Philippe Deléham, Oct 16 2006
G.f. 1/(2*x-G(0)) where G(k) = 2*x - 1 - k*x - x*(k+1)/G(k+1); G(0)=x (continued fraction, Euler's 1st kind, 1-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Aug 14 2012
G.f.: 1/(2*x) - 1/(G(0) - 1) where G(k) = 1 + x*(k+1)/(1 - 1/(1 + 1/G(k+1)));(continued fraction, 3-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 20 2012
G.f.: 1 + x/(G(0)-2*x) where G(k) = 1 + (k+1)*x - x*(k+3)/G(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Dec 26 2012
G.f.: (1 + 1/Q(0))/2, where Q(k) = 1 + k*x - x*(k+2)/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). In general, the g.f. for row (r+2) is (r + 1 + 1/Q(0))/(r + 2). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, May 04 2013
G.f.: W(0), where W(k) = 1 - x*(k+1)/( x*(k+1) - 1/(1 - x*(k+3)/( x*(k+3) - 1/W(k+1) ))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Aug 26 2013
a(n) ~ n! * n^2/2 * (1 - 1/n - 2/n^2 - 8/n^3 - 52/n^4 - 436/n^5 - 4404/n^6 - 51572/n^7 - 683428/n^8 - 10080068/n^9 - 163471284/n^10), where the coefficients are given by (n+2)*(n+1)/n^2 * Sum_{k>=0} A260491(k)/(n+2)^k. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 27 2015
a(n) = -A077607(n+2)/2. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 29 2015
From Peter Bala, Jul 12 2022: (Start)
O.g.f: A(x) = ( Sum_{k >= 0} ((k+2)!/2!)*x^k )/( Sum_{k >= 0} (k+1)!*x^k ).
A(x)/(1 - 2*x*A(x)) = Sum_{k >= 0} ((k+2)!/2!)*x^k.
Riccati differential equation: x^2*A'(x) + 2*x*A^2(x) - (1 + x)*A(x) + 1 = 0.
Apply Stokes 1982 to find that A(x) = 1/(1 - x/(1 - 3*x/(1 - 2*x/(1 - 4*x/(1 - 3*x/(1 - 5*x/(1 - ... - n*x/(1 - (n+2)*x/(1 - ...))))))))), a continued fraction of Stieltjes type. (End)
EXAMPLE
