Comments

Compare g.f. to the curious identity:

1/(1+x^2) = Sum_{n>=0} (1-(n+1)*x)^n * x^n/n! * exp(-x*(1-(n+1)*x)).

Formula

Binomial transform of A218667.

Example

O.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 5*x^3 + 15*x^4 + 54*x^5 + 220*x^6 +...
where the o.g.f. equals the series:
A(x)*(1-x) = exp(-x/(1-x)) + x/(1-2*x)*exp(-x/(1-2*x)) + x^2/(1-3*x)^2/2!*exp(-x/(1-3*x)) + x^3/(1-4*x)^3/3!*exp(-x/(1-4*x)) + x^4/(1-5*x)^4/4!*exp(-x/(1-5*x)) + x^5/(1-6*x)^5/5!*exp(-x/(1-6*x)) + x^6/(1-7*x)^6/6!*exp(-x/(1-7*x)) +...
which simplifies to a power series in x with integer coefficients.
