EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x - 2*x^2 + 26*x^4 - 1378*x^6 + 141202*x^8 -+...
...
Let F(x) = A(x*F(x)^2) so that A(x) = F(x/A(x)^2) then
F(x) = 1 + x - 7*x^3 + 242*x^5 - 17771*x^7 + 2189294*x^9 -+...
has alternating zeros in the coefficients (cf. A157304):
[1,1,0,-7,0,242,0,-17771,0,2189294,0,-404590470,0,104785114020,0,...].
