FORMULA
G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n satisfies the following formulas.
(1.a) A(x) = 1 + 2*x*A(x)^2 - x*A(-x)^2.
(1.b) A(x) = 1 + x*(A(x)^2 + A(-x)^2)/2 + 3*x*(A(x)^2 - A(-x)^2)/2.
(2.a) (A(x) + A(-x))/2 = 1 + 3*x*(A(x)^2 - A(-x)^2)/2.
(2.b) (A(x) - A(-x))/2 = x*(A(x)^2 + A(-x)^2)/2.
(2.c) (A(x) + A(-x))/2 = 1/(1 - 3*x*(A(x) - A(-x))).
(3.a) A(x) = (1 - sqrt(1-8*x + 8*x^2*A(-x)^2)) / (4*x).
(3.b) A(-x) = (sqrt(1+8*x + 8*x^2*A(x)^2) - 1) / (4*x).
(4.a) A(x) = (1 - sqrt(1 - 4*x*A(-x) - 4*x^2*A(-x)^2)) / (2*x).
(4.b) A(-x) = (sqrt(1 + 4*x*A(x) - 4*x^2*A(x)^2) - 1) / (2*x).
(5) 0 = (1-x) - (1-4*x)*A(x) - 2*x*(1+3*x)*A(x)^2 + 12*x^2*A(x)^3 - 9*x^3*A(x)^4.
(6) x = (1 + 4*x*A(x) - 6*x^2*A(x)^2 - sqrt(1 + 4*x*A(x) - 4*x^2*A(x)^2))/2.
(7) A(x) = (1/x)*Series_Reversion( (1 + 4*x - 6*x^2 - sqrt(1 + 4*x - 4*x^2))/2 ).
(8.a) Sum_{n>=0} a(n) * (sqrt(2) - 1)^n/3^n = sqrt(2).
(8.b) Sum_{n>=0} a(n) * (1 - sqrt(2))^n/3^n = 1.

EXAMPLE
G.f. A(x) = 1 + x + 6*x^2 + 13*x^3 + 114*x^4 + 290*x^5 + 2892*x^6 + 7901*x^7 + 84090*x^8 + 239222*x^9 + 2648244*x^10 + 7732914*x^11 + 87894324*x^12 + ...
RELATED SERIES.
We can see from the expansion of A(x)^2, which begins
A(x)^2 = 1 + 2*x + 13*x^2 + 38*x^3 + 290*x^4 + 964*x^5 + 7901*x^6 + 28030*x^7 + 239222*x^8 + 882748*x^9 + 7732914*x^10 + 29298108*x^11 + 261371940*x^12 + ...
that the odd bisection of A(x) is derived from the even bisection of A(x)^2:
(A(x) - A(-x))/2 = x + 13*x^3 + 290*x^5 + 7901*x^7 + 239222*x^9 + ...
(A(x)^2 + A(-x)^2)/2 = 1 + 13*x^2 + 290*x^4 + 7901*x^6 + 239222*x^8 + ...
and the even bisection of A(x) is derived from the odd bisection of A(x)^2:
(A(x) + A(-x))/2 = 1 + 6*x^2 + 114*x^4 + 2892*x^6 + 84090*x^8 + 2648244*x^10 + ...
(A(x)^2 - A(-x)^2)/2 = 2*x + 38*x^3 + 964*x^5 + 28030*x^7 + 882748*x^9 + ...
so that (A(x) + A(-x))/2 = 1 + 3*x * (A(x)^2 - A(-x)^2)/2.
SPECIFIC VALUES.
A(-r) = 1 and A(r) = sqrt(2) at r = (sqrt(2) - 1)/3 = 0.138071187457698....
