COMMENTS

If A(x)=sum_{k=1..inf} a(k)x^k satisfies A(x)^n - (n^2)*x*A(x)^(n+1) = 1, then a(n-1) = n^(2n-3) and a(2n-1) = n^(4n-2) (conjecture).

If A(x)=sum_{k=1..inf} a(k)x^k satisfies A(x)^n - (n^2)*x*A(x)^(n+1) = 1, then a(k)=n^(2k)*binomial(k/n+1/n+k-1,k)/(k+1) and, consequently, a(n-1) = n^(2n-3) and a(2n-1) = n^(4n-2). - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 10 2002

A generalization of the Catalan sequence (A000108) since for n = 1 the equation A(x)^n -(n^2)*x*A(x)^(n+1) = 1 reduces to A(x)=1+xA(x)^2. - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 10 2002

FORMULA

a(n)=4^(2n)*binomial(5n/4-3/4, n)/(n+1) - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 10 2002

EXAMPLE

A(x)^4 - 16x*A(x)^5 = 1 since A(x)^4 = 1 +16x +320x^2 +7040x^3 +163840x^4 +... and A(x)^5 = 1 +20x +440x^2 +10240x^3 +... also a(3)=4^5, a(7)=4^14=268435456.
