COMMENTS
See comments in A120588 for conditions needed for an integer sequence to satisfy a functional equation of the form: r*A(x) = c + b*x + A(x)^n.
FORMULA
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + Series_Reversion((1+24*x - (1+x)^8)/64). Lagrange Inversion yields: G.f.: A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} C(8*n,n)/(7*n+1) * (23+64*x)^(7*n+1)/24^(8*n+1). - Paul D. Hanna, Jan 24 2008
a(n) ~ 4^(-1 + 3*n) * (-23 + 21*3^(1/7))^(1/2 - n) / (3^(3/7) * n^(3/2) * sqrt(7*Pi)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 28 2017
EXAMPLE
A(x) = 1 + 4*x + 28*x^2 + 616*x^3 + 15820*x^4 + 453208*x^5 +...
A(x)^8 = 1 + 32*x + 672*x^2 + 14784*x^3 + 379680*x^4 + 10876992*x^5 +...
