COMMENTS
Suppose s = (c(0), c(1), c(2), ...) is a sequence and p(S) is a polynomial. Let S(x) = c(0)*x + c(1)*x^2 + c(2)*x^3 + ... and T(x) = (-p(0) + 1/p(S(x)))/x. The p-INVERT of s is the sequence t(s) of coefficients in the Maclaurin series for T(x). Taking p(S) = 1 - S gives the "INVERT" transform of s, so that p-INVERT is a generalization of the "INVERT" transform (e.g., A033453).
See A291000 for a guide to related sequences.

FORMULA
G.f.: (2 - 3 x - x^2)/(1 - 5*x + 6*x^2).
a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-2) for n >= 4.
a(n) = (16*3^n - 3*2^n) / 6 for n > 0. - Colin Barker, Aug 23 2017
E.g.f.: (1/6)*(-1 - 3*exp(2*x) + 16*exp(3*x)). - G. C. Greubel, Jun 04 2023
