FORMULA
Let B(x) = Integral 2*A(x) dx, then g.f. A(x) satisfies:
(1) A(x) = x + Sum_{n>=1} d^(n-1)/dx^(n-1) 2^n * A(x)^n * B(x)^n / n!.
(2) A(x) = x*exp( Sum_{n>=1} d^(n-1)/dx^(n-1) 2^n * A(x)^n * B(x)^n / (n!*x) ).
a(n)/n = A259271(n).
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = x + 2*x^3 + 18*x^5 + 244*x^7 + 4090*x^9 + 78636*x^11 +...+ a(n)*x^(2*n-1) +...
Let B(x) = Integral 2*A(x) dx, an integer series that begins:
B(x) = x^2 + x^4 + 6*x^6 + 61*x^8 + 818*x^10 + 13106*x^12 + 238636*x^14 + 4796157*x^16 + 104441690*x^18 +...+ A259271(n)*x^(2*n) +...
then A(x - 2*A(x)*B(x)) = x.
Also,
A(x) = x + 2*A(x)*B(x) + [d/dx 4*A(x)^2*B(x)^2]/2! + [d^2/dx^2 8*A(x)^3*B(x)^3]/3! + [d^3/dx^3 16*A(x)^4*B(x)^4]/4! + [d^4/dx^4 32*A(x)^5*B(x)^5]/5! +...
Logarithmic series:
log(A(x)/x) = 2*A(x)*B(x)/x + [d/dx 4*A(x)^2*B(x)^2/x]/2! + [d^2/dx^2 8*A(x)^3*B(x)^3/x]/3! + [d^3/dx^3 16*A(x)^4*B(x)^4/x]/4! + [d^4/dx^4 32*A(x)^5*B(x)^5/x]/5! +...
Explicitly,
log(A(x)/x) = 4*x^2/2 + 64*x^4/4 + 1264*x^6/6 + 28064*x^8/8 + 675504*x^10/10 + 17304544*x^12/12 + 466669536*x^14/14 +...+ A259272(n)*x^(2*n)/(2*n) +...
