%N Number of bracketings of 0#0#0#...#0 giving result 0, where 0#0 = 0#1 = 1#0 = 1, 1#1 = 0.

%C Operation # can be interpreted as NOT AND. The ratio a(n)/A000108(n-1) converges to (2-sqrt(2))/2. Thanks to Soren Galatius Smith

%F G.f.: 1 - (1/2)*(1 - 4*x)^(1/2) - (1/2)*(3 - 2*(1 - 4*x)^(1/2) - 4*x)^(1/2).

%F G.f.: (1 + 2*C(x) - sqrt(1 + 4*C(x)^2))/2, where C(x) = (1 - sqrt(1 - 4*x))/2 is the g.f. of the Catalan numbers (A000108). - _Paul D. Hanna_, Jun 10 2016

%F G.f. A(x) satisfies: A(x) = x + (A(x) - C(x))^2, where C(x) = x + C(x)^2 is a g.f. of the Catalan numbers (A000108). - _Paul D. Hanna_, Jun 11 2016
