FORMULA

The coefficient of x^(2^n) in A(x)^(2^(2^n)) equals 2^(2^n-n):

[x^(2^n)] A(x)^(2^(2^n)) = 2^(2^n-n); while

[x^n] A(x)^(2^n) = 0 when n>0 is not a power of 2, with A(0)=1.

EXAMPLE

G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x - x^2 - 16*x^4 - 1767*x^5 - 493164*x^6 -...

log(A(x)) = x - 3*x^2/2 + 4*x^3/3 - 71*x^4/4 - 8744*x^5/5 - 2948592*x^5/5 -...

ILLUSTRATE THE SERIES DEFINITION:

1 + log(A(2x)) + log(A(4x))^2/2! + log(A(8x))^3/3! + log(A(16x))^4/4! +...

= 1 + 2*x + 2*x^2 + 4*x^4 + 32*x^8 + 4096*x^16 + 134217728*x^32 +...

= 1 + 2^(1-0)*x + 2^(2-1)*x^2 + 2^(4-2)*x^4 + 2^(8-3)*x^8 + 2^(16-4)*x^16 +...

The coefficients in the expansion of A(x)^(2^n) for n>=0 begin:

where the coefficients along the diagonal (in parenthesis) begin:

[1,2,2,0,4,0,0,0,32,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,4096,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 134217728,...]

and equal 2^(2^m-m) at positions n=2^m for m>=0, with zeros elsewhere (except for the initial '1').
