Examples

			G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 6*x^3 + 19*x^4 + 64*x^5 + 227*x^6 +...
The logarithm of the g.f. may be expressed as the series:
log(A(x)) = (1 + x*A(x)^2)*x +
(1 + 4*x*A(x)^2 + x^2*A(x)^4)*x^2/2 +
(1 + 9*x*A(x)^2 + 9*x^2*A(x)^4 + x^3*A(x)^6)*x^3/3 +
(1 + 16*x*A(x)^2 + 36*x^2*A(x)^4 + 16*x^3*A(x)^6 + x^4*A(x)^8)*x^4/4 +...
which involves the squared binomial coefficients.

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..[n/2]} C(n+k, k)*C(n+k+1, n-2k)/(n+1).

G.f.: A(x) = (1/x)*Series_Reversion( x/(1+x) - x^3 ).

G.f. satisfies:

(1) A(x) = G(x*A(x)) where A(x/G(x)) = G(x) = (1 + x)/(1 - x^2 - x^3).

(2) A(x) = exp( Sum_{n>=1} [Sum_{k=0..n} C(n,k)^2*x^k*A(x)^(2k)] * x^n/n ).

(3) A(x) = exp( Sum_{n>=1} [Sum_{k>=0} C(n+k,k)^2*x^k*A(x)^(2k)]*(1-x*A(x)^2)^(2*n+1)* x^n/n ).

Recurrence: 23*(n-1)*n*(n+1)*(429*n^2 - 1903*n + 2004)*a(n) = 3*(n-1)*n*(12870*n^3 - 63525*n^2 + 87653*n - 28312)*a(n-1) + 3*(n-1)*(3861*n^4 - 24849*n^3 + 59286*n^2 - 61456*n + 22956)*a(n-2) + 3*(23166*n^5 - 207009*n^4 + 712578*n^3 - 1173947*n^2 + 916800*n - 266772)*a(n-3) - 3*(n-3)*(3*n - 10)*(3*n - 5)*(429*n^2 - 1045*n + 530)*a(n-4). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 18 2013
