COMMENTS
A permutation w has a double fall at k if w(k) > w(k+1) > w(k+2) and has an initial fall if w(1) > w(2).
exp(x*(1-y+y^2)*D_y)*f(y)|_{y=0} = f(1-E(-x)) for any function f with a Taylor series. D_y means differentiation with respect to y and E(x) is the e.g.f. given below. For a proof of exp(x*g(y)*D_y)*f(y) = f(F^{-1}(x+F(y))) with the compositional inverse F^{-1} of F(y)=int(1/g(y),y) with F(0)=0 see, e.g., the Datolli et al. reference.

FORMULA
E.g.f.: (1 + 1/sqrt(3) * tan(sqrt(3)/2 * x)) / (1 - 1/sqrt(3) * tan( sqrt(3)/2 * x)).
Recurrence: a(n+1) = (Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n, k) * a(k) * a(n-k)) - a(n) + 0^n.
E.g.f.: A(x) satisfies A' = 1 - A + A^2. - Michael Somos, Oct 04 2003
E.g.f.: E(x) = (3*cos((1/2)*3^(1/2)*x) + (3^(1/2))*sin((1/2)*3^(1/2)*x))/(3*cos((1/2)*3^(1/2)*x) - (3^(1/2))* sin((1/2)*3^(1/2)*x)). See the Michael Somos comment. - Wolfdieter Lang, Sep 12 2005
O.g.f.: A(x) = 1+x/(1-x-2*x^2/(1-2*x-2*3*x^2/(1-3*x-3*4*x^2/(1-... -n*x-n*(n+1)*x^2/(1- ...))))) (continued fraction). - Paul D. Hanna, Jan 17 2006
From Peter Bala: (Start)
An alternative form of the e.g.f. for this sequence taken from [BERGERON et al.] is
(1)... (sqrt(3)/2)*tan((sqrt(3)/2)*x+Pi/6) [with constant term 1/2].
By comparing the egf for this sequence with the egf for the Eulerian numbers A008292 we can show that
(2)... a(n) = A(n,w)/(1+w)^(n-1) for n >= 1,
where w = exp(2*Pi*i/3) and {A(n,x),n>=1} = [1, 1+x, 1+4*x+x^2, 1+11*x+11*x^2+x^3,...] denotes the sequence of Eulerian polynomials.
Equivalently,
(3)... a(n) = (-i*sqrt(3))^(n-1)*Sum_{k=1..n} k!*Stirling2(n,k)*(-1/2 + sqrt(3)*i/6)^(k-1) for n >= 1,
and
(4)... a(n) = (-i*sqrt(3))^(n-1)*Sum_{k=1..n} (-1/2 + sqrt(3)*i/6)^(k-1)* Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^(k-j)*binomial(k,j)*j^n for n >= 1.
This explicit formula for a(n) may be used to obtain various congruence results. For example,
(5a)... a(p) == 1 (mod p) for prime p = 6*n+1,
(5b)... a(p) == -1 (mod p) for prime p = 6*n+5.
For the corresponding results for the case of non-plane unary-binary trees see A000111. For type B results see A001586. For a related sequence of polynomials see A185415. See also A185416 for a recursive method to compute this sequence. For forests of plane increasing unary binary trees see A185422 and A185423.

O.g.f.: A(x) = x - (1/2)*x^2 + (1/2)*x^3 - (3/8)*x^4 + (13/40)*x^5 - (21/80)*x^6 + (123/560)*x^7 - (809/4480)*x^8 + (671/4480)*x^9 - (5541/44800)*x^10 + .... - Vladimir Kruchinin, Jan 18 2011
Let f(x) = 1+x+x^2. Then a(n+1) = (f(x)*d/dx)^n f(x) evaluated at x = 0. - Peter Bala, Oct 06 2011
G.f.: 1 + 1/Q(0), where Q(k) = 1/(x*(k+1)) - 1 - 1/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, May 06 2013
E.g.f.: 1 + 2*x/(W(0)-x), where W(k) = 4*k + 2 - 3*x^2/W(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, May 07 2013
G.f.: 1 + x/Q(0), m=1, where Q(k) = 1 - m*x*(2*k+1) - m*x^2*(2*k+1)*(2*k+2)/( 1 - m*x*(2*k+2) - m*x^2*(2*k+2)*(2*k+3)/Q(k+1) ) ; (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Sep 23 2013
G.f.: 1 + x/Q(0), where Q(k) = 1 - x*(k+1) - x^2*(k+1)*(k+2)/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 01 2013
a(n) ~ 3^(3*(n+1)/2) * n^(n+1/2) / (exp(n)*(2*Pi)^(n+1/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 05 2013
G.f.: 1 + T(0)*x/(1-x), where T(k) = 1 - x^2*(k+1)*(k+2)/( x^2*(k+1)*(k+2) - (1-x*(k+1))*(1-x*(k+2))/T(k+1) ); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 02 2013
a(n) = n! * Sum_{k=-oo..oo} (sqrt(3)/(2*Pi*(k+1/3)))^(n+1) for n >= 1. - Richard Ehrenborg, Dec 09 2013
G.f.: 1 + x/(G(0)-x), where G(k) = 1 + x*(k+1) - x*(k+1)/(1 - x*(k+2)/G(k+1) ); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Dec 24 2013
From Peter Bala, Sep 11 2015: (Start)
The e.g.f. A(x) = (sqrt(3)/2)*tan((sqrt(3)/2)*x + Pi/6) satisfies the differential equation A"(x) = 2*A(x)*A'(x) with A(0) = 1/2 and A'(0) = 1, leading to the recurrence a(0) = 1/2, a(1) = 1, else a(n) = 2*Sum_{i = 0..n-2} binomial(n-2,i)*a(i)*a(n-1-i) for the sequence [1/2, 1, 1, 3, 9, 39, 189, 1107, ...].
Note, the same recurrence, but with the initial conditions a(0) = 1 and a(1) = 1, produces the sequence n! and with a(0) = 0 and a(1) = 1 produces A000182. Cf. A002105, A234797. (End)
E.g.f.: exp( Series_Reversion( Integral 1/(2*cosh(x) - 1) dx ) ). - Paul D. Hanna, Feb 22 2016
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} (-3)^((n-k)/2)*((-1)^(n-k)+1)*Sum_{j=0..n-k} C(j+k-1,j)*(j+k)!*2^(-j-k)*(-1)^j*Stirling2(n,j+k),n>0, a(0)=1. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Feb 13 2019
For n > 0, a(n) = 3^((n+1)/2) * n! * (zeta(n+1, 1/3) - (-1)^n*zeta(n+1, 2/3)) / (2*Pi)^(n+1). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 06 2021
