FORMULA
G.f. A(x) satisfies:
(1) 1 = Sum_{n>=0} ((1+x)^(4*n) - A(x))^n.
(2) 1 = Sum_{n>=0} (1+x)^(4*n^2) / (1 + (1+x)^(4*n)*A(x))^(n+1).
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + 4*x + 22*x^2 + 564*x^3 + 25157*x^4 + 1499576*x^5 + 109904860*x^6 + 9480509576*x^7 + 937113401201*x^8 + 104240673195936*x^9 + ...
such that
1 = 1 + ((1+x)^4 - A(x)) + ((1+x)^8 - A(x))^2 + ((1+x)^12 - A(x))^3 + ((1+x)^16 - A(x))^4 + ((1+x)^20 - A(x))^5 + ((1+x)^24 - A(x))^6 + ((1+x)^28 - A(x))^7 + ...
Also,
1 = 1/(1 + A(x)) + (1+x)^4/(1 + (1+x)^4*A(x))^2 + (1+x)^16/(1 + (1+x)^8*A(x))^3 + (1+x)^36/(1 + (1+x)^12*A(x))^4 + (1+x)^64/(1 + (1+x)^16*A(x))^5 + (1+x)^100/(1 + (1+x)^20*A(x))^6 + ...

The logarithmic derivative of the g.f. begins

the coefficients of which are all divisible by 4:
(1/4) * A'(x)/A(x) = 1 + 7*x + 373*x^2 + 22947*x^3 + 1745371*x^4 + 155484925*x^5 + 15787826335*x^6 + 1795283976345*x^7 + 225802562558674*x^8 + ...
