More generally, exp(Sum_{k>=1} A002203(k)^(2*n+1) * x^k/k) = Product_{k=0..n} 1/(1 - (-1)^(n-k)*A002203(2*k+1)*x - x^2)^binomial(2*n+1,n-k).
Compare to g.f. exp(Sum_{k>=1} A002203(k) * x^k/k) = 1/(1-2*x-x^2).

FORMULA
G.f.: 1 / ( (1+2*x-x^2)^3 * (1-14*x-x^2) ).
G.f.: 1 / Product_{n>=1} (1 - A002203(n)*x^n + (-1)^n*x^(2*n))^A212443(n) where A212443(n) = (1/n)*Sum_{d|n} moebius(n/d)*A002203(d)^2.

EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + 8*x + 140*x^2 + 1864*x^3 + 26602*x^4 + 373080*x^5 + ...
where
log(A(x)) = 2^3*x + 6^3*x^2/2 + 14^3*x^3/3 + 34^3*x^4/4 + 82^3*x^5/5 + 198^3*x^6/6 + 478^3*x^7/7 + 1154^3*x^8/8 + ... + A002203(n)^3*x^n/n + ...
Also, the g.f. equals the infinite product:
A(x) = 1/( (1-2*x-x^2)^4 * (1-6*x^2+x^4)^16 * (1-14*x^3-x^6)^64 * (1-34*x^4+x^8)^280 * (1-82*x^5-x^10)^1344 * (1-198*x^6+x^12)^6496 * ... * (1 - A002203(n)*x^n + (-1)^n*x^(2*n))^A212443(n) * ...).
The exponents in these products begin:
A212443 = [4, 16, 64, 280, 1344, 6496, 32640, 166320, 862400, ...].
The companion Pell numbers begin (at offset 1):
A002203 = [2, 6, 14, 34, 82, 198, 478, 1154, 2786, 6726, 16238, ...].
