FORMULA
G.f.: A(x) = (1 - sqrt(1 - 4*x*(1-x)/(1-2*x+2*x^2) ))/2.
EXAMPLE
A(x) = x + 2*x^2 + 4*x^3 + 10*x^4 + 32*x^5 + 116*x^6 + 440*x^7 +...
G(x) = x + x^2 + x^3 + 2*x^4 + 6*x^5 + 18*x^6 + 53*x^7 + 158*x^8 +...
where G(x) is the g.f. of A120010 and G(G(x)) = A(x).
PROG
(PARI) {a(n)=polcoeff((1 - sqrt(1 - 4*x*(1-x)/(1-2*x+2*x^2+x*O(x^n)) ))/2, n)}
CROSSREFS
