Comments

Compare to: C(x) = x*(1 + 2*C(x)*C'(x)) / (1 + C(x)*C'(x)) holds when C(x) = x + C(x)^2 is a g.f. of the Catalan numbers (A000108).

a(n = 2^k) is odd for k>=0, and a(n) is even elsewhere (conjecture).

G.f.: A(x) = x + 3*x^2 + 24*x^3 + 291*x^4 + 4596*x^5 + 88230*x^6 + 1979088*x^7 + 50570823*x^8 + 1446341388*x^9 + 45706515546*x^10 + ...
such that A = A(x) satisfies: A = x*(1 + 4*A*A')/(1 + A*A').
Odd coefficients in A(x) seem to occur only for x^(2^k), k>=0.
