Note that if F(x)^2 = F(x*F(x)) / (1-x) with F(0) = 0, then F(x) is the g.f. of A367387. - Paul D. Hanna, Jan 08 2024

From Paul D. Hanna, Jan 08 2024: (Start)

G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n and B(x) = x*A(x) satisfies the following formulas.

(1) A(x)^2 = A(x*A(x)) / (1-x).

(2) A(x) = x / ((1-x)^(1/2) * (1 - B(x))^(1/4) * (1 - B(B(x)))^(1/8) * (1 - B(B(B(x))))^(1/16) * (1 - B(B(B(B(x)))))^(1/32) * ...), an infinite product involving iterations of B(x) = x*A(x).

The iterations of B(x) = x*A(x) begin

(3.a) B(B(x)) = x*(1-x) * A(x)^3.

(3.b) B(B(B(x))) = x*(1-x)^3 * (1 - x*A(x)) * A(x)^7.

(3.c) B(B(B(B(x)))) = x*(1-x)^7 * (1 - x*A(x))^3 * (1 - x*(1-x)*A(x)^3) * A(x)^15.

(3.d) B(B(B(B(B(x))))) = x*(1-x)^15 * (1 - x*A(x))^7 * (1 - x*(1-x)*A(x)^3)^3 * (1 - x*(1-x)^3*(1-x*A(x))*A(x)^7) * A(x)^31.

The compositions of g.f. A(x) with the iterations of B(x) = x*A(x) begin

(4.a) A(B(x)) = (1-x) * A(x)^2.

(4.b) A(B(B(x))) = (1-x)^2 * (1 - x*A(x)) * A(x)^4.

(4.c) A(B(B(B(x)))) = (1-x)^4 * (1 - x*A(x))^2 * (1 - x*(1-x)*A(x)^3) * A(x)^8.

(4.d) A(B(B(B(B(x))))) = (1-x)^8 * (1 - x*A(x))^4 * (1 - x*(1-x)*A(x)^3)^2 * (1 - x*(1-x)^3*(1-x*A(x))*A(x)^7) * A(x)^16.

Example

A(x) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 7*x^3 + 38*x^4 + 279*x^5 + 2535*x^6 +...
A(x)^2 = 1 + 2*x + 5*x^2 + 18*x^3 + 94*x^4 + 662*x^5 + 5829*x^6 +...
A(x*A(x)) = 1 + x + 3*x^2 + 13*x^3 + 76*x^4 + 568*x^5 + 5167*x^6 +...
