Let the B(x) denote the g.f. of A083353, then
B(x) = A(x)^2 + A(x) - 1 = 1 + 9*x + 36*x^2 + 81*x^3 + 144*x^4 + 225*x^5 + 324*x^6 + 576*x^7 + 1089*x^8 + 1296*x^9 + 1764*x^10 + 2916*x^11 + 4356*x^12 + 6084*x^13 + 7569*x^14 + 9801*x^15 + 16641*x^16 + 20736*x^17 + 25281*x^18 + 32400*x^19 + 39204*x^20 + 53361*x^21 + 69696*x^22 + 76176*x^23 + 90000*x^24 + 110889*x^25 + 149769*x^26 + 176400*x^27 + 184041*x^28 + 207936*x^29 + 281961*x^30 + ...
