FORMULA
a(n) = B(n,1), where B(n,m)=1/2*(T(n,m)-sum(i=m+1..n-1, B(n,i)*B(i,m))), n>m, B(n,n)=1, and where T(n,m)=1/2*(binomial(m,n-m)*16^(n-m)-sum(i=m+1..n-1, T(n,i)*T(i,m))), n>m, T(n,n)=1. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Mar 13 2012
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = x + 4*x^2 - 48*x^3 + 960*x^4 - 23296*x^5 + 616448*x^6 -+ ...
A(A(x)) = x + 8*x^2 - 64*x^3 + 1024*x^4 - 20480*x^5 + 442368*x^6 -+ ...
A(A(A(x))) = x + 12*x^2 - 48*x^3 + 576*x^4 - 8960*x^5 + 143360*x^6 -+ ...
MATHEMATICA
T[n_, n_] = 1; T[n_, m_] := T[n, m] = 1/2 (Binomial[m, n-m] 16^(n-m) - Sum[T[n, i] T[i, m], {i, m+1, n-1}]);
B[n_, n_] = 1; B[n_, m_] := B[n, m] = 1/2 (T[n, m] - Sum[B[n, i]*B[i, m], {i, m+1, n-1}]);
