FORMULA

Since this satisfies a recurrence similar to that of the Bell numbers (A000110), the asymptotic behavior is presumably just as complicated - see A000110 for details.

However, A000994(n)/A000995(n) [ e.g. 77464/63117 ] -> 1.228..., the constant in A051148 and A051149.

O.g.f.: A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} x^(2*n)*(1-n*x)/Product_{k=0..n} (1-k*x)^2 . - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Nov 02 2006

EXAMPLE

A(x) = 1 + x^2/(1-x) + x^4/((1-x)^2*(1-2x)) + x^6/((1-x)^2*(1-2x)^2*(1-3x)) +...

MAPLE

A000994 := proc(n) local k; option remember; if n <= 1 then 1 else 1 + add(binomial(n, k)*A000994(k - 2), k = 2 .. n); fi; end;

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=polcoeff(sum(k=0, n, x^(2*k)*(1-k*x)/prod(j=0, k, 1-j*x+x*O(x^n))^2), n) - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Nov 02 2006
