Formula

a(n) = (2-n) * a(n-1) - Sum_{k=1..n-1} a(k) * a(n-k) if n>1. - Michael Somos, Jul 23 2011

a(n) = (-1)^(n-1)*A003319(n) for n>=1.

G.f.: A(x) = 1/[Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n*n!*x^n].

G.f. satisfies: [x^(n+1)] A(x)^n = (-1)^n*n*A075834(n+1) for n>=0.

From Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jun 24 2012 to May 26 2013: (Start)

Continued fractions:

Let A(x) be the g.f., then A(x) = 1-x/U(0), where U(k) = x-1+x*k+(k+2)*x/U(k+1).

A(x) = 1/U(0), where U(k) = 1 - x*(2*k+1)/(1 - 2*x*(k+1)/(2*x*(k+1)- 1/U(k+1))).

G.f.: U(0), where U(k)= 1 + x*(k+1)/(1 + x*(k+1)/U(k+1)).

G.f.: 2/(G(0) + 1), where G(k)= 1 - x*(k+1)/(1 - 1/(1 + 1/G(k+1))).

G.f.: x*G(0), where G(k)=1/x + 2*k + 1 - (k+1)^2/G(k+1).

G.f.: 2/G(0), where G(k)= 1 + 1/(1 - x*(k+1)/(x*(k+1) - 1/G(k+1))). (End)
