Euler transform of Catalan numbers C(n-1) (cf. A000108).

n*a(n)=Sum_{k=1..n} a(n-k)*b(k), b(k)=Sum_{d|k} binomial(2*d-2, d-1)=A066768(k). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Jan 17 2002

G.f.: 1/(Product_{k>0} (1-x^k)^C(k-1)) where C() is Catalan numbers.

G.f.: A(z) = prod_{n >= 1} (1-z^n)^(-A000108(n)) = exp(sum_{k >= 1} C(z^k)/k, where C(z) is the g.f. for the Catalan numbers.

a(n) ~ K 4^(n-1)/sqrt(pi n^3), where K ~ 1.71603.
