COMMENT

Total number of bracketings of 0^0^...^0 is A000108(n-1) (this is Catalan's problem). So the number of bracketings giving 1 is A000108(n-1) - a(n).

Also bracketings of f => f => ... => f where f is "false" and "=>" is implication.

FORMULA

G.f.: - 1/4 - (1/4)*(1 - 4*x)^(1/2) + (1/4)*(2 + 2*(1 - 4*x)^(1/2) + 12*x)^(1/2).

The ratio a(n)/A000108(n-1) converges to (5-sqrt(5))/10 as n->oo.

EXAMPLE

Number of bracketings of 0^0^0^0^0^0 giving 0 is 11; so a(6)=11
