G.f. A(x) satisfies: 4^n - 1 = Sum_{k=0..n} [x^k]A(x)^n and also satisfies: (4+z)^n - (1+z)^n + z^n = Sum_{k=0..n} [x^k](A(x)+z*x)^n for all z, where [x^k]A(x)^n denotes the coefficient of x^k in A(x)^n.

COMMENTS
| More generally, if g.f. A(x) satisfies: m^n-b^n = Sum_{k=0..n} [x^k]A(x)^n, then A(x) also satisfies: (m+z)^n - (b+z)^n + z^n = Sum_{k=0..n} [x^k](A(x)+z*x)^n for all z and A(x)=(1+(m-1)*x+sqrt(1+2*(m-2*b-1)*x+(m^2-2*m+4*b+1)*x^2))/2.

FORMULA
| a(n)=-((2*n-3)*a(n-1)+13*(n-3)*a(n-2))/n for n>2, with a(0)=1, a(1)=2, a(3)=3. G.f.: A(x) = (1+3*x+sqrt(1+2*x+13*x^2))/2.

EXAMPLE
| From the table of powers of A(x) (A100229), we see that
4^n-1 = Sum of coefficients [x^0] through [x^n] in A(x)^n:
A^1=[1,2],3,-3,-6,24,3,-183,273,...
A^2=[1,4,10],6,-15,6,75,-174,-276,...
A^3=[1,6,21,35],9,-36,63,72,-612,...
A^4=[1,8,36,92,118],12,-66,192,-147,...
A^5=[1,10,55,185,380,392],15,-105,420,...
A^6=[1,12,78,322,879,1506,1297],18,-153,...
