If A(x) = Sum_{k>=1} a(k)*x^k satisfies A(x)^n - (n^2)*x*A(x)^(n+1) = 1, then a(n-1) = n^(2*n-3) and a(2*n-1) = n^(4*n-2) (conjecture).

If A(x) = Sum_{k>=1} a(k)*x^k satisfies A(x)^n - (n^2)*x*A(x)^(n+1) = 1, then a(k) = n^(2*k)*binomial(k/n+1/n+k-1,k)/(k+1) and, consequently, a(n-1) = n^(2*n-3) and a(2*n-1) = n^(4*n-2).
A generalization of the Catalan sequence (A000108) since for n = 1 the equation A(x)^n - (n^2)*x*A(x)^(n+1) = 1 reduces to A(x) = 1 + x*A(x)^2. (End)

FORMULA
a(n) = 5^(2*n)*binomial(6*n/5 - 4/5, n)/(n+1). - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 10 2002
a(n) ~ sqrt(3) * 6^(6*n/5 - 4/5) * 5^n / (sqrt(Pi) * n^(3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Dec 03 2014

G.f. A(x) satisfies A(x) = 1/A(-x*A(x)^7).
G.f.: ( (1/x) * Series_Reversion(x/(1+25*x)^(6/5)) )^(1/6). (End)
EXAMPLE
A(x)^5 - 25*x*A(x)^6 = 1 since A(x)^5 = 1 + 25*x + 750*x^2 + 24375*x^3 + 831250*x^4 + ... and A(x)^6 = 1 + 30*x + 975*x^2 + 33250*x^3 + ... also a(4) = 5^7, a(9) = 5^18 = 3814697265625.
