COMMENTS
Binomial transform is A111297. Binomial transform of [1,1,1,2,1,3,1,...] is A109975.
Essentially the same as A152271 and A133622. - R. J. Mathar, Mar 20 2009
Also defined by: a(0)=1; thereafter, a(n) = number of copies of a(n-1) in the list [a(0), a(1), ..., a(n-1)]. - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 12 2016
FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(k+1,n-k).
G.f.: Q(0)/x - 1/x, where Q(k)= 1 + (k+1)*x/(1 - x/(x + (k+1)/Q(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Apr 23 2013
E.g.f.: cosh(x) + (2 + x)*sinh(x)/2. - Stefano Spezia, Sep 06 2023
