FORMULA
G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n satisfies the following.
(1) -x = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-x)^n * (1 - (-x)^n)^n / A(x)^n.
(2) -x = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(n*(n-1)) * A(x)^n / (1 - (-x)^n)^n.
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 3*x^3 + 10*x^4 + 29*x^5 + 72*x^6 + 190*x^7 + 520*x^8 + 1413*x^9 + 3888*x^10 + 10839*x^11 + 30421*x^12 + ...
