Takeuchi Number


Let T(x,y,z) be the number of times "otherwise" is called in the TAK function, then the Takeuchi numbers are defined by T_n(n,0,n+1).

A recursive formula for T_n is given by

 T_n=sum_(k=0)^(n-2)[2(n+k-1; k)-(n+k; k)]t_(n-k-1)+sum_(k=1)^nC_n,

where C_n is a Catalan number. The values for n=0, 1, ... are 0, 1, 4, 14, 53, 223, 1034, 5221, 28437, ... (OEIS A000651).
