Compare g.f. to a g.f. C(x) of the Catalan numbers (A000108):
C(x) = x + C(x)*C(C(x)) - C(x)*C(C(x))^2 where C(x) = (1-sqrt(1-4*x))/2.
FORMULA
G.f. satisfies: A( x - (x-x^2)*A(x) ) = x.
G.f. satisfies: A( C(x) - x*A(C(x)) ) = C(x) where C(x) = (1-sqrt(1-4*x))/2 is a g.f. of the Catalan numbers.
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = x + x^2 + 2*x^3 + 6*x^4 + 24*x^5 + 116*x^6 + 636*x^7 + 3823*x^8 +...

A(A(x)) = x + 2*x^2 + 6*x^3 + 23*x^4 + 106*x^5 + 562*x^6 + 3316*x^7 +...
A(x)^2 = x^2 + 2*x^3 + 5*x^4 + 16*x^5 + 64*x^6 + 304*x^7 + 1636*x^8 +...
A(x) - A(x)^2 = x + x^4 + 8*x^5 + 52*x^6 + 332*x^7 + 2187*x^8 +...
The series reversion of g.f. A(x) begins:
x - (x-x^2)*A(x) = x - x^2 - x^4 - 4*x^5 - 18*x^6 - 92*x^7 - 520*x^8 -...
