Abstract:

With each power series g(x) with g(0) ≠ 0, we associate a power series G(x) such that [xn]G(x)n = [xn]g(x). We give examples for well-known integer sequences, including the Catalan numbers and generalized Catalan numbers, and explore the antecedents of rational sequences, including the Bernoulli numbers and the harmonic numbers.
