Note that: binomial(2*(n+1), n)/(n+1) = A000108(n+1) for n >= 0, where C(x) = Sum_{n>=0} A000108(n)*x^n satisfies C(x) = 1 + x*C(x)^2.
Compare the g.f. to:
(C1) M(x) = Sum_{n>=0} binomial(2*(n+1), n)/(n+1) * x^n / (1+x)^(n+1) where M(x) = 1 + M(x) + M(x)^2 is the g.f. of Motzkin numbers (A001006).
(C2) 1 = Sum_{n>=0} binomial(m*(n+1), n)/(n+1) * x^n / (1+x)^(m*(n+1)) holds for fixed m.
(C3) If S(x,p,q) = Sum_{n>=0} binomial(p*(n+1),n)/(n+1) * x^n/(1+x)^(q*(n+1)), then Series_Reversion ( x*S(x,p,q) ) = x*S(x,q,p) holds for fixed p and q.

FORMULA
G.f. A(x) satisfies:
(1) A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} binomial(2*(n+1), n)/(n+1) * x^n / (1+x)^(3*(n+1)).
(2) A(x) = (1 + x^2*A(x)^2) / (1 + x + 3*x^2 + x^3).
(3) A(x) = (1 + x + 3*x^2 + x^3 - (1+x)*sqrt(1 + 2*x^2 + 4*x^3 + x^4))/(2*x^2).
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 - x - x^2 + x^3 + 2*x^4 - 4*x^6 - 4*x^7 + 5*x^8 + 15*x^9 + 4*x^10 - 34*x^11 - 49*x^12 + 35*x^13 + 174*x^14 + 106*x^15 - 363*x^16 + ...
such that
A(x) = 1/(1+x)^3 + 2*x/(1+x)^6 + 5*x^2/(1+x)^9 + 14*x^3/(1+x)^12 + 42*x^4/(1+x)^15 + 132*x^5/(1+x)^18 + ... + A000108(n+1)*x^n/(1+x)^(3*(n+1)) + ...
RELATED SERIES.
Series_Reversion( x*A(x) ) = x + x^2 + 3*x^3 + 9*x^4 + 30*x^5 + 105*x^6 + 382*x^7 + 1429*x^8 + 5463*x^9 + 21248*x^10 + ... + A316371(n)*x^n + ...
which equals the sum:
Sum_{n>=0} binomial(3*(n+1), n)/(n+1) * x^(n+1)/(1+x)^(2*(n+1)).
