COMMENTS

Here the zeroth self-composition of A(x) equals x, the first self-composition is itself, the 2nd self-composition of A(x) = A(A(x)), etc.

EXAMPLE

The successive self-compositions of g.f. A(x) begin:

A(x) = (1)x + x^2 + 2x^3 + 12x^4 + 138x^5 + 2370x^6 + 54190x^7 +...

A(A(x)) = x + (2)x^2 + 6x^3 + 35x^4 + 370x^5 + 6000x^6 + 132344x^7 +...

A(A(A(x))) = x + 3x^2 + (12)x^3 + 75x^4 + 758x^5 + 11612x^6 +...

A(A(A(A(x)))) = x + 4x^2 + 20x^3 + (138)x^4 + 1388x^5 + 20322x^6 +...

A(A(A(A(A(x))))) = x + 5x^2 + 30x^3 + 230x^4 + (2370)x^5 + 33760x^6+...

A(A(A(A(A(A(x)))))) = x + 6x^2 +42x^3 +357x^4 +3838x^5 + (54190)x^6+...

The diagonal of coefficients equals this sequence shift left 1 place.

PROG

(PARI) {a(n)=local(F=x+x^2+sum(m=3, n-1, a(m)*x^m), G=x+x*O(x^n)); if(n<1, 0, if(n<=2, 1, for(i=1, n-1, G=subst(F, x, G)); return(polcoeff(G, n-1, x))))}
