Is there a closed-form expression for the terms of this sequence?
FORMULA
G.f. A(x) is given by:
(1) A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} 2 * (1 + (1 + 2*x)^n)^n / 4^(n+1).
(2) A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} 2 * (1 + 2*x)^(n^2) / (4 - (1 + 2*x)^n)^(n+1).
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + 3*x + 41*x^2 + 967*x^3 + 32109*x^4 + 1373603*x^5 + 71889889*x^6 + 4448939407*x^7 + 317785091933*x^8 + 25731184562939*x^9 + ...
such that
A(x) = 1/2 + (1 + (1+2*x))/2^3 + (1 + (1+2*x)^2)^2/2^5 + (1 + (1+2*x)^3)^3/2^7 + (1 + (1+2*x)^4)^4/2^9 + (1 + (1+2*x)^5)^5/2^11 + (1 + (1+2*x)^6)^6/2^13 + ...
Also, due to a series identity,
A(x) = 2/3 + 2*(1+2*x)/(4 - (1+2*x))^2 + 2*(1+2*x)^4/(4 - (1+2*x)^2)^3 + 2*(1+2*x)^9/(4 - (1+2*x)^3)^4 + 2*(1+2*x)^16/(4 - (1+2*x)^4)^5 + 2*(1+2*x)^25/(4 - (1+2*x)^5)^6 + 2*(1+2*x)^36/(4 - (1+2*x)^6)^7 + ...
