FORMULA
G.f.: A(x) = G(x/(1+A(x))^3)-1 where A(x*(G(x))^3) = G(x)-1 and G(x) = g.f. for A000257.
From Gheorghe Coserea, Apr 16 2018: (Start)
y = A(x)/x satisfies: 0 = x^6*y^7 + 6*x^5*y^6 + 15*x^4*y^5 + 4*x^3*(5 - 3*x)*y^4 + x^2*(15 - 37*x)*y^3 + x*(16*x^2 - 39*x + 6)*y^2 + (24*x^2 - 15*x + 1)*y + (9*x - 1).
A(x) = serreverse((1+x)^3*(1 + 12*x - (1-4*x)^(3/2))/(2*(4*x+3)^2)); equivalently, it can be rewritten as A(x) = serreverse((y-1)*(y^2+y-1)^3/(y^5*(3*y-2)^2)), where y = A000108(x). (End)
a(n) ~ 3 * 2^(9*n-1) / (sqrt(Pi) * 17^(5/2) * 5^(3*n - 5/2) * n^(5/2)). - Gheorghe Coserea and Vaclav Kotesovec, Apr 16 2018
EXAMPLE
A(x) = x + x^4 + 3*x^6 + 7*x^7 + 15*x^8 + 63*x^9 + 168*x^10 + 561*x^11 + ...
MATHEMATICA
kmax = 30; b[0] = 1; b[n_] := 3*2^(n - 1)*CatalanNumber[n]/(n + 2);
G[x_] = Sum[b[k] x^k, {k, 0, kmax}];
A[_] = 1;
Do[A[x_] = G[x/(1 + A[x] + O[x]^k)^3] - 1 // Normal, {k, 1, kmax + 1}];
