Examples

			The table has shape A000041 and begins:
  1
  1 1
  2 1 1
  5 2 1 1 1
  14 5 2 2 1 1 1
so a(n) begins 1 2 4 10 26 ...

Formula

G.f.: -1 + Product_{n>=1} 1/(1-C(n-1)*x^n), where C(n) = A000108(n). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Aug 18 2014

a(n) = s(1,n), where s(m,n) = C(n-1)+Sum_{k=m..n/2} C(k-1)*s(k,n-k), s(n,n) = C(n-1), C(n) are the Catalan numbers (A000108). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Sep 06 2014

a(n) ~ c * 4^n / n^(3/2), where c = 1 / (4*sqrt(Pi) * Product_{k>=1} (1 - binomial(2*k-2,k-1) / (k * 4^k))) = 0.2422046382280667... - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 08 2018
