%F G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n) * x^n may be described as follows.
%F (1) 2 = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(2*n) * (2*A(x) + x^(n-2))^(n+1).
%F (2) 2 = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(4*n) * (2*A(x) + x^(n-1))^n.
%F (3) 2*x^2 = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(n*(n-1)) / (1 + 2*A(x)*x^(n+2))^(n-1).
%F (4) 2*x^2 = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^(n+1) * x^(n*(n-1)) / (1 + 2*A(x)*x^(n+2))^(n+1).
%F (5) A(x) = 1 / Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(2*n) * (2*A(x) + x^(n-2))^n.
%F (6) A(x) = 1 / Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(3*n-2) * (2*A(x) + x^(n-2))^(n-1).
%F (7) A(x) = 1 / Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(n^2) / (1 + 2*A(x)*x^(n+2))^(n+1).
%F (8) 0 = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(2*n) * (2*A(x) + x^(n-1))^n.
%F (9) 0 = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(n*(n-1)) / (1 + 2*A(x)*x^(n+2))^n.
