FORMULA

G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 5*x^3 + ... satisfies A(x) = exp( Sum_{k=1..inf} (1/k)*(A(x^k) + 1/A(x^k) - 2 + x^k) ).

MATHEMATICA

m=25; c[0]=1; c[1]=1; gf[x_] = Sum[c[k]*x^k, {k, 0, m}];

se = Series[ Log[gf[x]] - Sum[(1/k)*(gf[x^k] + 1/gf[x^k] - 2 + x^k), {k, 1, m}], {x, 0, m}];

First[ Array[c, m] /. Solve[ Thread[ CoefficientList[se, x] == 0]]]  (* From Jean-François Alcover, Jun 29 2011 *)
