G.f. A(x) satisfies A(x^2) = (A(x/2)-1)/x - A(x/2)^2/2.
B(x) := 1/(2*x) - x*A(x^2) satisfies B(x)^2 + 1 = B(2*x^2).
Define f(n, c) := x - Sum_{k>=0} a(k)/(2*x)^(2*k+1) where x = c^(2^n). Then A003095(n+1) = A004019(n) + 1 = f(n, 1.502836801...). Also, A062013(n) = f(n, 1.78050350...). - Michael Somos, Jun 07 2021

G.f. = A(x) = 1 + 3*x + 6*x^2 + 45*x^3 + 126*x^4 + 750*x^5 + 2796*x^6 + ...
B(x) = 1/(2*x) - x - 3*x^3 - 6*x^5 - 45*x^7 - 126*x^9 - 750*x^11 - ... - Michael Somos, Jul 11 2019
