%N O.g.f. satisfies A^3(z) = 1/(1 - z)*( BINOMIAL(BINOMIAL(A(z))) )^2.
%C The binomial transform of an o.g.f. A(z) is given by BINOMIAL(A(z)) = 1/(1 - z)*A(z/(1 - z)).
%C For general remarks on a solution to the functional equation A^(N+1)(z) = 1/(1 - z)*(BINOMIAL(BINOMIAL(A(z))) )^N for integer N, and the connection with triangle A145901 see A258377 (case N = 1). This is the case N = 2.
%C From _Peter Bala_, Dec 06 2017: (Start)
%C a(n) appears to be of the form 4*m + 1. Calculation suggests that for k = 1,2,3,..., the sequence a(n) (mod 2^k) is purely periodic with period length a divisor of 2^(k-1). For example, a(n) (mod 8) = (1, 5, 5, 1, 1, 5, 5, 1,...) seems to be purely periodic with period length 4 and a(n) (mod 16) = (1, 5, 5, 1, 9, 13, 13, 9, 1, 5, 5, 1, 9, 13, 13, 9,...) seems to be purely periodic with period length 8 (both checked up to n = 1000).

%F O.g.f.: A(z) = 1 + 5*z + 37*z^2 + 385*z^3 + 5417*z^4 + ... satisfies A^3(z) = 1/(1 - z)*1/(1 - 2*z)^2*A^2(z/(1 - 2*z)).
