FORMULA

G.f.: 1/(1-x-x^2/(1-x-4x^2/(1-x-9x^2/(1-x-16x^2.... (continued fraction). [Paul Barry, Jan 12 2009]

E.g.f.: exp(x)*sec(x). [Zerinvary Lajos, Apr 05 2009]

E.g.f.: 1+x/H(0); H(k)=4k+1-x+x^2*(4k+1)/((2k+1)*(4k+3)-x^2+x*(2k+1)*(4k+3)/(2k+2-x+x*(2k+2)/H(k+1) )); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 15 2011

G.f.: 1/G(0) where G(k)= 1 - 2*x*(k+1)/(1 + 1/(1 + 2*x*(k+1)/G(k+1))); (continued fraction, 3-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 20 2012

G.f.: -1/x/Q(0), where Q(k)= 1 - 1/x - (k+1)^2/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Apr 26 2013

G.f.: (1-x)/Q(0), where Q(k)= (1-x)^2 - (1-x)^2*x^2*(k+1)^2/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, May 04 2013

a(n) ~ n! * ((-1)^n*exp(-Pi/2) + exp(Pi/2)) *(2/Pi)^(n+1). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 08 2013

G.f.: Q(0), where Q(k) = 1 - x*(2*k+1)/( x*(2*k+1) - 1/(1 + x*(2*k+1)/( x*(2*k+1) + 1/(1 - x*(2*k+2)/( x*(2*k+2) - 1/(1 + x*(2*k+2)/( x*(2*k+2) + 1/Q(k+1) ))))))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 22 2013

G.f.: Q(0)/(1-x), where Q(k) = 1 - x^2*(k+1)^2/( x^2*(k+1)^2 - (1-x)^2/Q(k+1) ); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 21 2013

EXAMPLE

1 + x + 2*x^2 + 4*x^3 + 12*x^4 + 36*x^5 + 152*x^6 + 624*x^7 + 3472*x^8 + ...
