Compare g.f. to the Lambert series of A000143: 1 + 16*Sum_{n>=1} n^3*x^n/(1 - (-x)^n).

FORMULA
G.f.: 1 + 16*Sum_{n>=1} Pell(n)*n^3*x^n/(1 - A002203(n)*(-x)^n + (-1)^n*x^(2*n)), where A002203(n) = Pell(n-1) + Pell(n+1).
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + 16*x + 112*x^2 + 896*x^3 + 3408*x^4 + 10080*x^5 +...
where A(x) = 1 + 1*16*x + 2*112*x^2 + 5*448*x^3 + 12*1136*x^4 + 29*2016*x^5 + 70*3136*x^6 + 169*5504*x^7 + 408*9328*x^8 +...+ Pell(n)*A000143(n)*x^n +...
The g.f. is also given by the identity:
A(x) = 1 + 16*( 1*1*x/(1+2*x-x^2) + 2*8*x^2/(1-6*x^2+x^4) + 5*27*x^3/(1+14*x^3-x^6) + 12*64*x^4/(1-34*x^4+x^8) + 29*125*x^5/(1+82*x^5-x^10) + 70*216*x^6/(1-198*x^6+x^12) + 169*343*x^7/(1+478*x^7-x^14) +...).
