FORMULA
E.g.f.: 1 / ( d/dx Series_Reversion( Integral C(x) dx ) ), where C(x) = 1 + x*C(x)^2 = (1 - sqrt(1-4*x))/(2*x), is the Catalan function of A000108.
E.g.f.: 1 + Series_Reversion( 2*x/(1+x) - log(1+x) ).
E.g.f.: -2/LambertW(-1,-2*exp(x-2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Dec 27 2013
E.g.f.: A(x) = C( Integral 1/A(x) dx ), where C(x) = 1 + x*C(x)^2 = (1 - sqrt(1-4*x))/(2*x), is the Catalan function of A000108. - Paul D. Hanna, May 23 2019
a(n) ~ 2 * n^(n-1) / (exp(n) * (1-log(2))^(n-1/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Dec 27 2013
EXAMPLE
E.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 3*x^2/2! + 17*x^3/3! + 147*x^4/4! + 1729*x^5/5! +...
where A(x)^2 = 1 + 2*x + 8*x^2/2! + 52*x^3/3! + 484*x^4/4! + 5948*x^5/5! +...
Integral 1/A(x) dx = x - x^2/2! - x^3/3! - 5*x^4/4! - 41*x^5/5! - 469*x^6/6! +...
Further,
Series_Reversion(Integral 1/A(x) dx) = x + x^2/2 + 2*x^3/3 + 5*x^4/4 + 14*x^5/5 + 42*x^6/6 + 132*x^7/7 +...+ A000108(n-1)*x^n/n +...
where A000108(n) = binomial(2*n,n)/(n+1).
