Limit a(n+1)/a(n) seems to exist, approximately = 4.75...

FORMULA

A(x) = ...o x/(1-x^3) o x/(1-x^2) o x/(1-x) o (x) o x/(1-x) o x/(1-x^2) o x/(1-x^3) o...

EXAMPLE

G.f.: A(x) = x + 2*x^2 + 6*x^3 + 20*x^4 + 71*x^5 + 266*x^6 +...

A(x) is the limit of compositions beginning in the following manner:

(1) x/(1-x) o x/(1-x) = x/(1-2*x);

(2) x/(1-x^2) o x/(1-x) o x/(1-x) o x/(1-x^2) = (x-2*x^2-x^3)/(1-4*x+x^2+4*x^3+x^4);

(3) x/(1-x^3) o x/(1-x^2) o x/(1-x) o x/(1-x) o x/(1-x^2) o x/(1-x^3); ...

PROG

(PARI) {a(n)=local(F=x); if(n<1, 0, for(k=1, n, F=subst(subst(x/(1-x^k), x, F), x, x/(1-x^k +x*O(x^n))); ); return(polcoeff(F, n)))}
