FORMULA
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + Sum_{n>=1} (1/n!)*Product_{j=0..n-1} L(4^j*x) where L(x) satisfies: x = Sum_{n>=1} -(-1)^n/n!*Product_{j=0..n-1} L(4^j*x); L(x) equals the g.f. of column 0 of the matrix log of P (A111849).
EXAMPLE
G.f. A(x) = 1 + L(x) + L(x)*L(4*x)/2! + L(x)*L(4*x)*L(4^2*x)/3!
+ L(x)*L(4*x)*L(4^2*x)*L(4^3*x)/4! + ...
where L(x) satisfies:
x = L(x) - L(x)*L(4*x)/2! + L(x)*L(4*x)*L(4^2*x)/3! -+ ...
and L(x) = x + 4/2!*x^2 + 56/3!*x^3 + 1728/4!*x^4 +....(A111849).
