Comments

This is the series reversion of xf(x) where f(xf(x))=exp(x), exp(xf(x))=f(xf(x)*exp(x)), f(log(x)*f(log(x)))=x and f(x)=sum(n>=0, A087961(n)*x^n/n!). Are these series convergent anywhere besides at x=0?

Example

f(x) = 1 +1x -1x^2/2! +10x^3/3! -159x^4/4! +3816x^5/5! -125375x^6/6! +-...
where f(xf(x)) = exp(x).

Maple
