Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%F Shifts left under Carlitz transform.
%F Carlitz transform T(A(x)) has g.f. 1/(1-sum(k>0, (-1)^(k+1)*A(x^k))).
%F From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Sep 17 2017: (Start)
%F The following results are simple consequences of the fact that the sequence shifts left under the Carlitz transform.
%F a(n) = Sum_{1 <= s <= n-1} a(n-s)*b(s) for n>=2, where b(n) = Sum_{m|n} (-1)^{1+(n/m)} a(m), with a(1) = 1.
%F If A(x) = Sum_{n>=1} a(n)*x^n, then A(x)-x = A(x)*Sum_{n>=1} a(n)*x^n/(1+x^n).
