FORMULA
G.f. A(x) satisfies:
(1) A(x) = Series_Reversion( x - x^2*(1+x)^2 ).
(2) A(x) = x + Series_Reversion( (sqrt(1+4*x) - 1)/2 - x^2 )^2. - Paul D. Hanna, Oct 24 2013
(3) A(x) = x + Sum_{n>=1} d^(n-1)/dx^(n-1) x^(2*n)*(1+x)^(2*n)/n!.
(4) A(x) = x*exp( Sum_{n>=1} d^(n-1)/dx^(n-1) x^(2*n-1)*(1+x)^(2*n)/n! ).
Recurrence: 31*(n-2)*(n-1)*n*(104*n - 293)*a(n) = 8*(n-2)*(n-1)*(1768*n^2 - 7633*n + 7425)*a(n-1) + 20*(n-2)*(2080*n^3 - 14180*n^2 + 31612*n - 22995)*a(n-2) + 8*(2*n-5)*(4*n-13)*(4*n-11)*(104*n - 189)*a(n-3). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 17 2013
a(n) ~ 1/312*sqrt(78)*sqrt((26533 + 50583*sqrt(78))^(2/3) - 5837 + 13*(26533 + 50583*sqrt(78))^(1/3))/((26533 + 50583*sqrt(78))^(1/6)) * (4/93*((209773 + 4836*sqrt(78))^(2/3) + 3481 + 34*(209773 + 4836* sqrt(78))^(1/3))/(209773 + 4836*sqrt(78))^(1/3))^n / (n^(3/2)*sqrt(Pi)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 17 2013
a(n+1) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n+k+1,k) * binomial(2*k,n-k)/(n+k+1). - Seiichi Manyama, Aug 24 2023

G.f.: A(x) = x + x^2 + 4*x^3 + 16*x^4 + 74*x^5 + 364*x^6 + 1876*x^7 +...

A(x)^2 = x^2 + 2*x^3 + 9*x^4 + 40*x^5 + 196*x^6 + 1004*x^7 + 5328*x^8 +...
(1+A(x))^2 = 1 + 2*x + 3*x^2 + 10*x^3 + 41*x^4 + 188*x^5 + 924*x^6 + 4756*x^7 + 25314*x^8 +...
Series reversion shows a relation to the Catalan numbers (A000108):
Series_Reversion( sqrt(A(x) - x) ) = (sqrt(1+4*x) - 1)/2 - x^2, which begins
x - 2*x^2 + 2*x^3 - 5*x^4 + 14*x^5 - 42*x^6 + 132*x^7 - 429*x^8 +...
where
sqrt(A(x) - x) = x + 2*x^2 + 6*x^3 + 25*x^4 + 114*x^5 + 560*x^6 + 2880*x^7 +...+ A229042(n)*x^n +...
