Seqfans,
The "mysterious sequence": https://oeis.org/draft/A120419 has keyword "obscure" ...
I found that the e.g.f. satisfies the somewhat obtuse formula:
A(x) = ( 1 + Integral (A(x) * Integral A(x) dx) dx )^2.
The sequence calls for a closed form; can someone derive a closed form for this e.g.f.?
Note that the e.g.f. for Euler numbers (A000364) satisfy:
G(x) = 1 + Integral (G(x) * Integral G(x)^2 dx) dx when G(x) = 1/cos(x)
which makes one suspect that there is a closed form for A120419
(and perhaps a simpler formula than I gave!).
Regards,
Paul
