Surprisingly, the e.g.f. A(x) is an odd function: A(-x) = -A(x). Let q=2; the g.f. of column k of A078121^m (matrix power m) is: 1 + Sum_{n>=1} (m*q^k)^n/n! * Product_{j=0..n-1} A(q^j*x).

FORMULA
E.g.f. satisfies: x/(1-x) = Sum_{n>=1} Prod_{j=0..n-1} A(2^j*x)/(j+1). E.g.f. satisfies: x/(1-x^2) = Sum_{n>=1}Prod_{j=0..2*n}A(2^j*x)/(j+1).
EXAMPLE
E.g.f.: A(x) = x - 2/3!*x^3 + 216/5!*x^5 - 568464/7!*x^7 + ...
where A(x) satisfies:
x/(1-x) = A(x) + A(x)*A(2*x)/2! + A(x)*A(2*x)*A(2^2*x)/3!
+ A(x)*A(2*x)*A(2^2*x)*A(2^3*x)/4! + ...
also:
x/(1-x^2) = A(x) + A(x)*A(2*x)*A(2^2*x)/3!
+ A(x)*A(2*x)*A(2^2*x)*A(2^3*x)*A(2^4*x)/5! + ...
G(x) = 1 + 2*A(x) + 2^2*A(x)*A(2*x)/2! +
2^3*A(x)*A(2*x)*A(2^2*x)/3! +
2^4*A(x)*A(2*x)*A(2^2*x)*A(2^3*x)/4! + ...
PROG
(PARI) {a(n, q=2)=local(A=x/(1-x+x*O(x^n))); for(i=1, n, A=x/(1-x)/(1+sum(j=1, n, prod(k=1, j, subst(A, x, q^k*x))/(j+1)!))); return(n!*polcoeff(A, n))}
