T(n,n)=A000108(n) (the Catalan numbers). sum(kT(n, k),k=1..n)=A025174(n). %F A108767 G.f.=T-1, where T=T(t, z) satisfies T=1+zT^2*(T-1+t). %F A108767 Contribution from Peter Bala (pbala(AT)toucansurf.com), Oct 22 2008: (Start) %F A108767 Define a functional I on formal power series of the form f(x) = 1 + ax + bx^2 + ... by the following iterative process. Define inductively f^(1)(x) = f(x) and f^(n+1)(x) = f(x*f^(n)(x)) for n >= 1. Then set I(f(x)) = lim n -> infinity f^(n)(x) in the x-adic topology on the ring of formal power series; the operator I may also be defined by I(f(x)) := 1/x*series reversion of x/f(x). %F A108767 The o.g.f. for the array of Narayana numbers A001263 is I(1 + t*x + t*x^2 + t*x^3 + ...) = 1 + t*x + (t + t^2)*x^2 + (t + 3*t^2 + t^3)*x^3 + ... . The o.g.f. for the current array is IoI(1 + t*x + t*x^2 + t*x^3 + ...) = 1 + t*x + (t + 2*t^2)*x^2 + (t + 6*t^2 + 5*t^3)*x^3 + ... . Cf. A132081 and A141618. Alternatively, the o.g.f. of this array can be obtained from a single application of I, namely, form I(1 + t*x^2 + t*x^4 + t*x^6 + ...) = 1 + t*x^2 + (t + 2*t^2)*x^4 + (t + 6*t^2 + 5*t^3)*x^6 + ... and then replace x by sqrt(x). This is a particular case of the general result that forming the n-fold composition I^(n)(f(x)) and then replacing x with x^n produces the same result as I(f(x^n)).
