COMMENT

With alternating signs, e.g.f.: 1/(1+sinh(x)). - R. Stephan, Apr 29 2004

REFERENCES

Getu, S.; Shapiro, L. W.; Combinatorial view of the composition of functions. Ars Combin. 10 (1980), 131-145.

FORMULA

E.g.f.: 1/(1 - sinh x).

a(0)=a(1)=1, a(n) = sum[k=1..ceil(n/2), C(n, 2k-1) * a(n-2k+1)]. - R. Stephan, Apr 29 2004

a(n) ~ (sqrt(2)/2)*n!/log(1+sqrt(2))^(n+1). - Conjectured by Simon Plouffe, Feb 17 2007. Comment from A. N. W. Hone (A.N.W.Hone(AT)kent.ac.uk), Feb 22 2007: This formula can be proved using the techniques in the article by Philippe Flajolet, Symbolic Enumerative Combinatorics and Complex Asymptotic Analysis, Algorithms Seminar 2000-2001, F. Chyzak (ed.), INRIA, (2002), pp. 161-170 [see Theorem 5 and Table 2, noting that 1/(1-sinh(x)) just has a simple pole at x=log(1+sqrt(2)].

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<2, n>=0, sum(k=1, ceil(n/2), binomial(n, 2*k-1)*a(n-2*k+1))) (from R. Stephan)
