FORMULA
G.f. A(x) satisfies: A(x)^8 (mod 16) = g.f. of A083948.
EXAMPLE
A(x) = 1 + x - x^2 + 3*x^3 - 6*x^4 + 18*x^5 - 52*x^6 + 156*x^7 +...
A(x)^4 = 1 + 4*x + 2*x^2 + 4*x^3 + 7*x^4 + 8*x^5 + 4*x^6 +...
A(x)^8 = 1 + 8*x + 20*x^2 + 24*x^3 + 50*x^4 + 88*x^5 + 116*x^6 +...
A(x)^8 (mod 16) = 1 + 8*x + 4*x^2 + 8*x^3 + 2*x^4 + 8*x^5 +...
G(x) = 1 + 8*x + 4*x^2 + 8*x^3 + 2*x^4 + 8*x^5 + 4*x^6 + 8*x^7 +...
where G(x) is the g.f. of A083948.
