Formula

G.f. satisfies:

(1) A(x) = exp( Sum_{n>=1} x^n/n * Sum_{k=0..n} C(n,k)^2 * x^(2*k) * A(x)^(2*k) ).

(2) A(x) = (1/x)*Series_Reversion(x/((1+x)*(1+x^3))).

(3) a(n) = [x^n] (1 + x + x^3 + x^4)^(n+1) / (n+1).

(4) A(x) = exp( Sum_{n>=1} x^n/n * (1-x^2*A(x)^2)^(2*n+1)*Sum_{k>=0} C(n+k,k)^2 * x^(2*k) * A(x)^(2*k) ).

From Peter Bala, Jun 21 2015: (Start)

a(n) = 1/(n + 1)*Sum_{k = 0..floor(n/3)} binomial(n + 1,k)* binomial(n + 1,n - 3*k). Applying Maple's sumrecursion command to this formula gives the above recurrence of Kotesovec.

More generally, the coefficient of x^n in A(x)^r equals r/(n + r)*Sum_{k = 0..floor(n/3)} binomial(n + r,k)*binomial(n + r,n - 3*k) by the Lagrange-Bürmann formula.

O.g.f. A(x) = exp(Sum_{n >= 1} A228960(n)*x^n/n), where A228960(n) = Sum_{k = 0..floor(n/3)} binomial(n,k)*binomial(n,3*k). Cf. A036765, A186241 and A200731. (End)

Example

G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + x^2 + 2*x^3 + 6*x^4 + 16*x^5 + 39*x^6 + 99*x^7 + ...
Related expansions:
A(x)^3 = 1 + 3*x + 6*x^2 + 13*x^3 + 36*x^4 + 105*x^5 + 292*x^6 + ...
A(x)^4 = 1 + 4*x + 10*x^2 + 24*x^3 + 67*x^4 + 200*x^5 + 582*x^6 + ...
The logarithm of the g.f. equals the series:
log(A(x)) = (1 + x^2*A(x)^2)*x + (1 + 2^2*x^2*A(x)^2 + x^4*A(x)^4)*x^2/2 +
(1 + 3^2*x^2*A(x)^2 + 3^2*x^4*A(x)^4 + x^6*A(x)^6)*x^3/3 +
(1 + 4^2*x^2*A(x)^2 + 6^2*x^4*A(x)^4 + 4^2*x^6*A(x)^6 + x^8*A(x)^8)*x^4/4 +
(1 + 5^2*x^2*A(x)^2 + 10^2*x^4*A(x)^4 + 10^2*x^6*A(x)^6 + 5^2*x^8*A(x)^8 + x^10*A(x)^10)*x^5/5 + ...
more explicitly,
log(A(x)) = x + x^2/2 + 4*x^3/3 + 17*x^4/4 + 51*x^5/5 + 136*x^6/6 + 393*x^7/7 + 1233*x^8/8 + ...
