Comments

This is a special case of sequences with g.f.s that satisfy the more general functional equation xA(x)^m = B(xA(x^m)) originated by Michael Somos; some other examples are A085748, A091190 and A091200.

Formula

Given g.f. A(x), then B(x) = x * A(x^2) satisfies 0 = f(B(x), B(x^2)) were f(u, v) = u^2 * (1 - v) - v * (1 + v). - Michael Somos, Aug 02 2011

1 + x + x^2 + 2*x^3 + 2*x^4 + 4*x^5 + 5*x^6 + 10*x^7 + 12*x^8 + 23*x^9 + ...
q + q^3 + q^5 + 2*q^7 + 2*q^9 + 4*q^11 + 5*q^13 + 10*q^15 + 12*q^17 + ...
