FORMULA
Given g.f. A(x), let G(x) denote the g.f. of A264224, then:
(1) G( x/(A(x)^2 - 4*x) ) = x,
(2) G( x/(A(x^2) + 2*x) ) = x,
(3) A(G(x))^2 = (1+4*x) * G(x)/x,
(4) A(G(x)^2) = (1-2*x) * G(x)/x,
where G(x)^2 = G( x^2/(1-4*x) ).
a(n) ~ c * (-1)^(n+1) * d^n / n^(3/2), where d = 5.46806882358680646837..., c = 0.268849330049069376... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 18 2015
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + 3*x - 3*x^2 + 9*x^3 - 33*x^4 + 126*x^5 - 513*x^6 + 2214*x^7 - 9876*x^8 + 45045*x^9 +...
where
A(x)^2 = 1 + 6*x + 3*x^2 - 3*x^4 + 9*x^6 - 33*x^8 + 126*x^10 - 513*x^12 + 2214*x^14 - 9876*x^16 + 45045*x^18 +...
so that A(x)^2 = A(x^2) + 6*x.
Let G(x) = Series_Reversion( x / (A(x^2) + 2*x) ), then
G(x) = x + 2*x^2 + 7*x^3 + 26*x^4 + 103*x^5 + 422*x^6 + 1774*x^7 + 7604*x^8 + 33109*x^9 + 146042*x^10 +...+ A264224(n)*x^n +...
such that G(x)^2 = G( x^2/(1-4*x) ) and A(G(x))^2 = (1+4*x) * G(x)/x.
