COMMENT

A variant of the Motzkin numbers: see A001006 for the main entry.

Equals row sums of triangle A144218 starting with "1". [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Sep 14 2008]

Starting (1, 1, 1,...) = inverse binomial transform of A014137: (1, 2, 4, 9, 23, 65,...). [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 02 2009]

FORMULA

Series reversion of g.f. A(x) is -A(-x).

a(n)+a(n-1)=a(0)*a(n)+a(1)*a(n-1)+...+a(n)*a(0), n>2.

G.f. A(x) satisfies 0=f(x, A(x)) where f(x, y)=x-y-x*y+x^2+y^2.

G.f. A(x) satisfies 0=f(x, A(x)) where f(x, y)=(y^2-y^3)-(x^2+x^3).

G.f.: (1+x-sqrt(1-2x-3x^2))/2.

G.f. A(x) satisfies A(x) = x+C(xA(x)) where C(x) is g.f. for Catalan numbers A000108 (offset 1).

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=polcoeff((1+x-sqrt(1-2*x-3*x^2+x*O(x^n)))/2, n)

CROSSREFS

a(n+2)=A001006(n).
