Formula
G.f. A(x) = 1 + x + x^2 + 2*x^3 + 5*x^4 + 11*x^5 + 28*x^6 + ... satisfies A(x) = 1 + x*(A(x)^3 + 2*A(x^3))/3.
a(0) = a(1) = 1; a(n+1) = 2*a(n/3)/3 + (Sum_{j=1..n} j*a(j)*(Sum_{i=1..n-j} a(i)*a(n-j-i)))/n for n >= 1, where a(k) = 0 if k not an integer (essentially eq (4) in the Robinson et al. paper). - Emeric Deutsch, May 16 2004
