Comments

Self-convolution square-root of A201556.

Compare to the g.f. C(x) = 1 + x*C(x)^2 of the Catalan numbers (A000108): C(x) = exp( Sum_{n>=1} binomial(2*n-1,n) * x^n/n ).

Formula

a(n) = (1/n) * Sum_{k=1..n} C(2*k^2,k^2)/2 * a(n-k) for n>0 with a(0)=1.

a(n) ~ 2^(2*n^2-1) / (sqrt(Pi)*n^2). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 06 2014

Example

G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 18*x^2 + 8121*x^3 + 75143314*x^4 + 12641135924840*x^5 +...
where
log(A(x)) = x + 35*x^2/2 + 24310*x^3/3 + 300540195*x^4/4 +...+ C(2*n^2-1,n^2)*x^n/n +...
