FORMULA
G.f. A(x) also satisfies:
(1) A(x) = x + A( 2*x - A(x) )^2.
(2) A(x) = 2*x - Series_Reversion(x + A(x)^2).
(3) R(x) = x/2 + 1/2 * Series_Reversion(x + 2*A(x)^2), where R(A(x)) = x.
(4) R( sqrt( x - R(x) ) ) = -x + 2*R(x), where R(A(x)) = x.
(5) A(x) = x + Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n-1) * d^(n-1)/dx^(n-1) A(x)^(2*n) / n!.
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} (-1)^k * A277295(n,k).

G.f.: A(x) = x + x^2 - 4*x^4 + 2*x^5 + 52*x^6 - 96*x^7 - 975*x^8 + 4240*x^9 + 18460*x^10 - 183448*x^11 - 101716*x^12 + 7373216*x^13 - 23650520*x^14 - 230147920*x^15 + 2198499720*x^16 + 664806792*x^17 - 124144328784*x^18 + 703989911368*x^19 + 3189500786336*x^20 +...
such that
A(x + A(x)^2) = x + 2*A(x)^2
also,
A(x) = x + A( 2*x - A(x) )^2.

A(x)^2 = x^2 + 2*x^3 + x^4 - 8*x^5 - 4*x^6 + 108*x^7 - 72*x^8 - 2158*x^9 + 6118*x^10 + 46376*x^11 - 319856*x^12 - 618132*x^13 + 14320096*x^14 - 30385024*x^15 - 505460559*x^16 + 3846420096*x^17 + 5951934200*x^18 - 243911854368*x^19 + 1136290742936*x^20 +...
A(x + A(x)^2) = x + 2*x^2 + 4*x^3 + 2*x^4 - 16*x^5 - 8*x^6 + 216*x^7 - 144*x^8 - 4316*x^9 + 12236*x^10 + 92752*x^11 - 639712*x^12 +...
