FORMULA
G.f. satisfies:
(1) A(x) = 1 + Series_Reversion( (1+8*x - (1+x)^4)/(8*(1+x)) ).
(2) A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} C(4*n,n)/(3*n+1) * (7 + 8*x*A(x))^(3*n+1) / 8^(4*n+1).
(3) A(x) = G(x*A(x)) and G(x) = A(x/G(x)) where G(x) = (7+8*x + G(x)^4)/8 is the g.f. of A120594.
a(n) ~ 3^(3*(n-1)/4) * 7^((n-1)/4) / (sqrt(Pi) * n^(3/2) * (3^(3/4)*7^(1/4) - 7/2)^(n - 1/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 27 2017
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + 2*x + 10*x^2 + 88*x^3 + 978*x^4 + 12200*x^5 +...
Compare A(x)^4 to 8*(1-x)*A(x):
A(x)^4 = 1 + 8*x + 64*x^2 + 624*x^3 + 7120*x^4 + 89776*x^5 +...
8*(1-x)*A(x) = 8 + 8*x + 64*x^2 + 624*x^3 + 7120*x^4 + 89776*x^5 +...
