 * 卡特兰数又称卡塔兰数，英文名Catalan number，是组合数学中一个常出现在各种计数问题中出现的数列。由以比利时的数学家欧仁·查理·卡塔兰 (1814–1894)命名，其前几项为 : 1, 2, 5, 14, 42, 132, 429, 1430,

/**
 * 令h(0)=1,h(1)=1，catalan数满足递推式[1] ： h(n)= h(0)*h(n-1)+h(1)*h(n-2) + ... + h(n-1)h(0) (n>=2) 例如：h(2)=h(0)*h(1)+h(1)*h(0)=1*1+1*1=2
 * h(3)=h(0)*h(2)+h(1)*h(1)+h(2)*h(0)=1*2+1*1+2*1=5 另类递推式[2] ： h(n)=h(n-1)*(4*n-2)/(n+1); 递推关系的解为： h(n)=C(2n,n)/(n+1)
 * (n=0,1,2,...) 递推关系的另类解为： h(n)=c(2n,n)-c(2n,n+1)(n=0,1,2,...)
