FORMULA
E.g.f. A = A(x) satisfies:
(1) 1/(1-x)^3 = 1 + A + A*Dx(A)/2! + A*Dx(A*Dx(A))/3! + A*Dx(A*Dx(A*Dx(A)))/4! +...
(2) G(-x)^3 = 1 - A + A*Dx(A)/2! - A*Dx(A*Dx(A))/3! + A*Dx(A*Dx(A*Dx(A)))/4! -+..., where G(x) = 1 + x*G(x)^3 is the g.f. of A001764.
(3) (1-x)^6/((1-x)^3 - x)^3 = 1 + 2*A + 2^2*A*Dx(A)/2! + 2^3*A*Dx(A*Dx(A))/3! + 2^4*A*Dx(A*Dx(A*Dx(A)))/4! +...
where Dx(F) = d/dx(x*F).
EXAMPLE
E.g.f.: A(x) = 3*x - 6*x^2/2! + 33*x^3/3! - 288*x^4/4! + 3240*x^5/5! - 41328*x^6/6! + 538776*x^7/7! - 6772608*x^8/8! + 108502848*x^9/9! - 3985200000*x^10/10! +...
such that
A(x/(1-x)^3) = 3*x + 12*x^2/2! + 33*x^3/3! + 108*x^4/4! + 900*x^5/5! + 2952*x^6/6! - 19152*x^7/7! + 1694592*x^8/8! + 1847232*x^9/9! - 1796670720*x^10/10! +...
where
A(x/(1-x)^3) = (1+2*x)/(1-x)*A(x).
