FORMULA
G.f.: A(x) satisfies A(x) = (1+x)*A(x^2)^2, with A(0)=1.
G.f.: A(x) = Product_{n>=0} (1 + x^(2^n))^(2^n).
G.f.: A(x) = (1/(1 - x)) * Product_{n>=0} 1/(1 - x^(2^(n+1)))^(2^n). - Eitan Y. Levine, Jun 24 2023
G.f.: A(x) satisfies B(x/A(x)) = x where B(x) = x*A(B(x)) is the g.f. of A389473. - Paul D. Hanna, Oct 27 2025
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 2*x^3 + 5*x^4 + 5*x^5 + 8*x^6 + 8*x^7 + 18*x^8 + 18*x^9 + 28*x^10 + 28*x^11 + 50*x^12 + ...
where A(x) = (1 + x) * A(x^2)^2 as can be seen from the coefficients in A(x^2)^2 = 1 + 2*x^2 + 5*x^4 + 8*x^6 + 18*x^8 + 28*x^10 + 50*x^12 + 72*x^14 + ...
