%F G.f.: 1 + A(x) where A(x) is the g.f. of A001045.

%F G.f.: 1 + Q(0)/3, where Q(k)= 1 - 1/(4^k - 2*x*16^k/(2*x*4^k - 1/(1 + 1/(2*4^k - 8*x*16^k/(4*x*4^k + 1/Q(k+1)))))); (continued fraction).

%F G.f.: 1+ Q(0)*x/2 , where Q(k) = 1 + 1/(1 - x*(2*k+1 + 2*x)/( x*(2*k+2 + 2*x) + 1/Q(k+1) )); (continued fraction). (End)
